None of the above EVER expressed or approved Roberts' opinion, and you know it. The opinion was his, and his alone.

And you are a deluded kook to believe that. Roberts put their names in the book, and the tittle attributes the work to them, and you don't think they had anything to say about it?

Bull****.

Total, absolute bull****, like everything you write.

Many years later a second edition of Roberts' work was compiled, by someone else, which included the Supreme Court's original report to the legislature. Roberts' original didn't have that, and unless I've missed something here, it didn't...

"...listed them as members of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, who had prepared a report for the legislature."

So there's not even a HINT that the Supreme Court approved Roberts' work.

In fact, that Roberts was not in communication with the Supreme Court on any of these details is evident from his own words in the Preface:

"The report which they [the judges of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court] have submitted, is, doubtless, entitled to high respect and consideration, as containing the opinions of men who rank in the highest grade of the profession, and in the public confidence, but it ought to be carefully distinguished from a JUDICIAL DECISION; of the character of which it does not partake.

The distinguished characters who have made the report, it is confidently presumed, would not wish that it should be so considered; but on the contrary...

If Roberts was even in communication with any of the members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, then why would he PRESUME their wishes?

Once again, this claim, like everything you write, is complete bull****. In fact, it seems like your only purpose at FreeRepublic is to mislead people regarding our history, our Constitution and our laws. Why don't you go preach your stupid cr*p to the inmates at the local asylum?

And as far as "deluded kooks" go, YOU'RE the one whose legal theory is so idiotic that you can't find ONE Founder or Framer, or ONE single court in the entire United States, or even ONE of our 535 Members of Congress, or even ONE major contemporary legal authority, or even ONE conservative Constitutional foundation, who agrees with you.

Yeah, yeah, I know. The fact that everybody who's anybody says you're totally full of crap means that you're actually a genius.

Go preach it to the pigeons, Einstein.
