Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is "disgraceful" and a "disappointment" to conservatives, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Saturday, while praising Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is his favorite member of the high court.
"Justice Roberts really let us down. What he did with Obamacare was disgraceful, and I think he did that because he wanted to be popular inside the Beltway," Trump told about 4,000 supporters. The celebrity billionaire was referring to the chief justice twice voting to uphold key provisions of President Barack Obama's 2010 health care law and to the expressway around the District of Columbia, an area regarded as the center of U.S. government and politics.
Thomas, arguably one of the court's most conservative members, is "very strong and consistent," Trump said.
The GOP front-runner offered his assessment during an hourlong question-and-answer-session with Attorney General Alan Wilson. The South Carolina Republican is hosting a series of forums in this early voting state to query GOP hopefuls about their theories on constitutional law and the role of the federal government.
Prompted by Wilson, Trump also blasted government regulations. He focused his ire on water regulations that he says flood the market with bad faucets, toilets and shower heads.
"There's no water pressure," he complained. "The problem is you stand under the shower five times as long wasting more water than if you used the other one. So people are flushing seven, eight, 10 times. The end result is that it's no good and you end up wasting more water.
"I could name hundreds like that," Trump concluded about the regulations.

What or where is Free Republican ?
Great post, ButterZ. Kudos. Hey, what ever happened to the Natural Born Citizen section on FR?? Was my fav :(
John Roberts is a disgrace...Thomas is the one aho should be chief justice...
The main question is, once ut’s discovered the extent if enemy infiltration into our government, who will be best able to deal with it & iradicate ut. I wouks suggest that man is Trump. with his money, connections & influence. Both Cruz & Trump will be fought by Congress, every step of the way, so it must be done by “other means.” ;)
Sorry for typos
Yeah, whatever.
When you can come up with some form of documented proof that Trump is an actual conservative that will govern per conservative prinicples via limited government and liberty, then maybe people will take the troll seriously (Starting a sentence with “Trump says” is NOT documented proof).
Irrelevant. The graphic was silly.
Not really. (What now?)
General public wonât eat field corn though.
Neither will anyone else after the first time, unless they are starving.
Apparently, you are logic challenged.
YUP!......if its Trump or Cruz this year will u vote for one of them???
Tell me what you're made of....*S*
From what I’ve read, ethanol does suck, and I see Trump’s support of it as a sop to Iowa ethanol-corn farmers. Sort of stupid and lame and not pleasant but it’s one of the very few things he’s said that I disagree with so it’s not a big thing to me.
Trump may also not know the downsides of ethanol. I know auto mechanics hate it.
