Roberts is getting so much negativity and I am not sure it is fair. Kennedy who was nominated by Ronald Reagan does not get near the anger and he has been against us much more than Roberts. Roberts score is 100 to 2....Why is he getting so much grief when Kennedy does not????????
Because Roberts' decision is one of the very worst in American history, and it will have unimaginably bad consequences. This decision puts us on a sure path to tyranny by basically granting the federal government unlimited power.
Second, he sides with with the conservative side 75% of the time in 5-4 decisions.
Most of the decisions where he sided with liberals were not nearly of the consequence of this decision (Kelo excepted - but even there he wrote a separate concurrence limiting the scope of the liberal majority).
To use a criminal analogy, most of Kennedy's liberal votes were misdemeanors, where Roberts vote is a major felony.
