Remember back in 2012 when the Supreme Court narrowly upheld the Obamacare mandate with a 5-4 decision but only after Judge Roberts, a Bush appointee, seemingly parted with his conservative counterparts on the bench to effectively, single-handedly preserve perhaps the most destructive piece of legislation in American history (if not, we wrote about it here)? Many people were shocked by Judge Roberts' decision and subsequently alleged that it was driven more by politics than his interpretation of the Constitution.
Turns out those people were proven right today as a new Podesta email confirms that the Obama administration applied political pressure on Roberts to sway his decision: "it was pretty critical that the President threw the gauntlet down last time on the Court...that was vital to scaring Roberts off."

Comey - corrupted FBI
Lerner - corrupted IRS
Roberts - corrupted Supreme Court
FYI.
No rule of Law
If the decision was made under duress, then does that make it illegal and render it invalid?
Oh good grief!
Political pressure on the court is nothing unusual.
And the ACA IS a tax.
Can “political pressure” mean blackmail?
>>>>If the decision was made under duress, then does that make it illegal and render it invalid?<<<<
no. There was no physical duress. Roberts was told he would look bad if he did not uphold. They knew Roberts was weak. He was and probably is taking dilantin. That saps one’s will power cumulatively.
One or more would have to admit that but given the message Scalia sent them.....
Why should anything surprise me concerning a weak (perhaps homosexual) SC justice that very likely flubbed the oath of office to Barry so that he could secretly use a Koran for him to swear his oath.
If they threatened to take his (adopted) children away, would that render the decision as being made ‘under duress’?
And hence invalid?
How the hell can the Chief Justice of the United States of America be scared off by any president ?

I knew this at the time it happened and voiced it then. Obama blackmailed Roberts
#1 Corrupt Government Officials
And now we know that Hillary was in on it too.
Does Roberts ride in Epsteins plane too?

They have embarrassing information on him. That is the likely answer. Who knows what it is.
If Trump doesn’t win, we are so screwed.
It was about the adoption of his children.
