Every conservative who understands the Courts supported Roberts. Did he betray us? Yes. But conservatives would not have seen it coming.

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.

To: hinckley buzzard

you are 100% correct.

not to belabor the point, but, FR was hot with skepticism when Roberts was nominated. We wanted a rock solid conservative.

Now..admittedly...for the first few years, I was pleasantly surprised by Roberts. He’s NOT a Souter.

But he switched his vote on the most important case. And it seems he did it at the last minute, to the shock of the 4 conservatives.

He did it b/c they had the goods on him. And GWB should have known this.

Our skepticism was justified. Maybe overstated...but for the case that mattered, very much justified.
