I’m beginning to think that the problem with the SCOTUS is Roberts.

That was an irrational comment. The problem is 4 liberal justices on SCOTUS and more to come if Obama is reelected. I

First of all, Roberts lies-—Kagan has no integrity and she should NEVER have been confirmed.

And if she doesn’t recuse herself—she will be in violation of Federal Law. (But then, she lied when she took the oath of office—like her puppet master muslim did.

No kidding. It smells of "My colleagues can do no wrong" and "What did you expect him to say?".

Since the likes of Kagan and Sotomayer are so brilliant, wouldn't you think that the MSM would display their written decisions for all the world to see?

Are they out there? Maybe I just don't know about it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It has always been a politically-oriented court.

I always cite the slavery issue and how the court did an about face within about 2 decades.

Much of the history of SCOTUS is filled with just such about faces.

If the Constitution didn’t change during a two-decade timespan, then it was the interpretation that changed.

At the march towards liberalism is a “ratchet”; it never gets more conservative, it just holds the line for a while, then gets more liberal.

Now we have a government that far exceeds it’s Constitutional limitations. It remains to be seen if we can actually get a SCOTUS to ratchet government back at all towards the Constitution.

The court getting involved in forcing Federal big-goverment handouts continues to expand, as does the court siding with a perceived “popular” view on “rights”. It’s much more difficult to be the “parent” who has to play “bad cop” and either a) limit how much the government has to splurge, b) tell a large, politically powerful group what they don’t want to hear or c) tell people they have to behave.

If there is a major grassroots revival of conservatism then a SCOTUS may react according to b) if it’s balanced or right-leaning and go along with the idea of reintroducing some limits on government.

IMHO...

Unfortunately Roberts doesn’t get to hire his associates.

I have believed for almost 3 years there was something in Roberts not tuned to the belief of the Founders. It began when he gave Obama that private in chambers redo of the oath of office instead of taking a few moments and redoing the oath publicly. Is there anyone who besides Roberts and Obama who can honestly, knowingly and validly say how the redo oath was worded. I recall it was done without use the Bible. Either he was a shill or just plain foolish. Too many judges and politicians drink from the same cup as Obama and his enablers.

Roberts was one of the only things that Baby Bush got right.

So quick to turn your back on great men....what a shame.

That might be a bit rash — at this point all Roberts has done is stand up for his colleagues. It’s too early for him to opine about who should or should not stand down. If anything, perhaps he should have said nothing about it at all.

He is probably smart enough to know that Kagan and Thomas will likely take opposite sides of the Obamacare issue, so they will cancel each other out.

I am optimistically predicting that the court will overturn obamacare 5 to 4 with Kennedy being the tie-breaker (as usual).
