Roberts is being blackmailed.


Roberts is a progressive corportist. No blackmail necessary.

“The Center for Reproductive Rights said the burdens on access to abortion in Louisiana would have been even more restrictive than those in Texas, where about half of the state’s abortion clinics were forced to close. It also said the law was unnecessary, because only a small fraction of women experience medical problems after an abortion, and when they do, they seek treatment at a hospital near where they live, not one near the medical clinic. “

The latter part of that statement is B.S. If there is a problem with an abortion that cannot be attended to in the abortion mill, then it is also usually a time sensitive problem and the woman needs to go as soon as possible to the nearest hospital; and since she is at the abortion mill at the time, that would be a hospital nearest the mill, not her home.

And in general, yes an abortion doctor needs admitting rights at a hospital, and due to the time sensitive nature of any problem that would require any patient of that doctor to go to a hospital, the 30 mile limit is not too much to ask, not too great a burden.

The fact is that too many abortion mill doctors do not have admitting privileges at the nearest hospital, giving their patients no advantage should they need to go to a hospital due to a problem with the abortion that the abortion doctor cannot solve by themselves in the abortion mill.

Can we arrest GWBush on the charge of negligence of official duties, for hiring Roberts?

I think the Federalist Society approach is reasonable when dealing with a large number of lower court appointments

Today's lower court appointee is tomorrow's federal circuit court justice or SC nominee. Gorsuch's breathtaking legislation-from-the-bench calls into question all of the Federalist Society-approved judges McConnell has gotten confirmed in such a frenzy over the last 3 and a half years - how many of them agreed with Gorsuch's ruling? How many cases will ever be brought before the Supreme Court - those judges rulings will set precedent and go unchallenged for decades. We need to look for real, activist right-wing justices to counteract a virulent left-wing judiciary, not the "will he or won't he betray us" milksops we keep getting.

When you give someone a lifetime appointment there is no predicting what they will do decades down the line.

Earl Warren. William Brennan. Harry Blackmun. Sandra Day O'Connor. David Souter. Anthony Kennedy. John Roberts. Now Neil Gorsuch.

Conservatives have been betrayed repeatedly by Supreme Court justices who their presidents nominated. It's become expected at this point - liberal justices never surprise anyone on the important cases, "conservative" justices break the hearts of the people who voted for the president who nominated them repeatedly. We wonder why blacks would continue to support the Democratic Party after decades of betrayal and failure - probably for the same reason we keep voting Republican.

The original Roe v Wade decision which gave us legalized baby murder was written by Nixon appointee Harry Blackmun and Nixon appointee Chief Justice Warren Burger voted in favor.
Strangely, Barack Obama had a lot of turncoat rulings. 41 times the Supreme Court issued UNANIMOUS rulings against Obama, 9-0 which means both of his appointees, Sotomayor and Kagan voted against him and with the conservatives at least 41 times.
Reagan appointee Sandra Day O’Connor helped give us affirmative action and Eisenhower appointee Earl Warren became one of the most liberal Chief Justices, particularly on blacks’ civil rights versus states’ rights.

He is willingly doing satan’s bidding. Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. I guess this verse defines Roberts.

Senate should draft impeachment proceedings just to put him on notice. They won’t impeach but it would be a severe rebuke nonetheless.

Only the House can draft impeachment proceedings.

Exactly. It’s always been a fools errand to count GOP judge chickens. The only reason these “Trump judges” are touted so much is because the GOP Congress has delivered basically none of the GOP platform agenda to President Trump’s desk.

That’s hard to do with Speaker Pelosi and a 233-198 Democrat majority in the House.

“George W. Bush was THE WORST president until Obama and even then ties with Obama. Roberts demonstrates that.”

Well to be fair he did give us Alito, but Roberts has been a major flop.

"What happened to the State Rights and the 9th and 10th Amendment?"

The bottom line is that parents are not making sure that their children are being taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers versus 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty.

The Bush family has been a scourge on this country for going on three decades now.

“So this is why Louisiana copied the Texas law, and now Roberts flips his own vote.”

Roberts could afford to hide the last time. This time, he had to come out in the open. Am I wrong to wish he has a heart attack?

Roberts MUST be EXPOSED for the FRAUD he is!

Hasn't he already done that on numerous times?
