John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is seriously considering stepping down from the nation’s highest court for personal reasons, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Roberts, known for his conservative judicial philosophy, has served on the Supreme Court since 2005, having been nominated by President George W. Bush after the death of former Chief William Rehnquist.
RadarOnline.com has been told that Roberts, 55, could announce his decision at any time.
The decision paves the way for President Barack Obama to make his second appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court following his first, Sonia Sotomayor.
So do I! This must be either earth-shaking personal revelations or terrible medical news. I’ve thought all along that the Obama minions are doing opposition research on every single person who is in a position of power to get rid of them. This man is the best and if this is true, it means something monumental is facing him. Prayers.
Obama is probably jumping up and down in glee and getting his minions to work to belittle Roberts now. Force him into making a decision.
This is bad news. I hope it is not some dire health condition for the Chief Justice.
This would spell the end of America.
It would be time to head for the hills.
America would become a socialist country in no time.
Lets hope this is not true.
America needs CJ Roberts, now more then ever.
I hope this is unfounded. As bad as it would be for the country, it would have to mean something personally tragic for the Rboberts family.
RadarOnline... exclusively... sounds like pulled out of a liberal’s arse.
I’ve never heard of this website, but some of the other headlines make me think I’ll wait for a second source before jumping on this bandwagon.

The end of America as we know it
From Drudge ...
“TOP COURT SOURCE TELLS DRUDGE: ‘THIS IS NOT HAPPENING... NEWS TO ME’... DEVELOPING...”
SnakeDoc
It’s known that Bambi is thinking of expanding the SC to 12 members (remember FDR’s court packing attempt?). Maybe this is in response to that?
I sure hope Drudge is right and this was a rumor from anti-Roberts forces.
Radar Online?
Yea, I’m positive that would be the first choice for someone to leak this to.
Obama goons have most likely dug up dirt on him. I notice that NY Dem Gov Patterson defied the anointed ONE by insisting on running again for office and he is now deluged by ethics complaints and cries to step down.
Complicit media is aiding and abetting the thuggery.
Nothing on Fox (either TV or web)
Drudge took the link down (as of this second).
“The end of America as we know it”
It cannot get to the point where one man is all that stands between America and the Abyss. We allow ourselves to be lulled into a sense of security. Even we do.
First I've heard of them.
Which may be the point of leaking this.
Well who should I believe, a top court source talking to drudge or radar online who I’ve never heard of. hmmmmmmmmmm Until a legitimate news source reports this, I’m not believing this story.
