What a dumbass argument. The only reason Trump didn’t support Roberts is because he doesn’t even understand the role of a Judge. Every conservative who understands the
Courts supported Roberts. Did he betray us? Yes. But conservatives would not have seen it coming.

Wrong.

Roberts aided landmark case on gay rights / His pro bono work helped activists win Supreme Court ruling

Nice try, but wrong.

In 2005, at the time, both Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter warned unequivocally, in print, that Roberts was a go along to get along type of guy, A RINO who was no originalist, "A Souter in Robert's clothing," in reference to the other Bush's catastrophic liberal court pick.

He that has ears let him hear.

Nope.

There were plenty of us here at FR who were raising hell the day GWB nominated Roberts.

We felt like the “lack of a track record of opinions” cut both ways. Sure, he might slip through confirmation. But he’s too much of a wild card. And no one turns out to be more conservative than expected.

I googled him when Bush selected him. He has no paper trail to go on because he had been a judge for two measly years.

I kept on searching and found out that he represented two homosexuals PRO BONO before the US Supreme Court. I knew right then and there he was not a conservative and it should have raised the red flag for anyone that thought he was. Cruz didn’t care because Cruz had many homosexual friends in college and and Cruz will ask anyone for campaign cash and that includes homosexual activists.
