Will John Roberts be remembered in history the same as Benedict Arnold?

Posted on 06/28/2012 7:39:44 AM PDT by Sybeck1

When some is called a Benedict Arnold he is deemed a traitor. Will being called a John Roberts go to mean the same?

Can’t believe anyone is surprised, we were forewarned, Ginsberg gave the Obama the thumbs up signal to Obama several days ago in her interview. She should be impeached for that act alone.

And that witch-woman Pelosi tweeted his vote in advance (was it yesterday?).

TRAITOR

Roberts had a huge deposit made in a Swill bank account for him. He is set for life.

Here’s what I don’t get: The law as passed, didn’t mention this healthcare bill was a “TAX”. So how in the hell does Roberts, just because lawyers argued that congress has the power to TAX, say it is constitutional?????

Roberts is definitely a creep. IMO, this was a huge over-reach on his part.

This was a clear attempt of an intimidated jurist to stay out of the political crosshairs during an election year. In seeking to avoid politics, Roberts has thrust the Court into the bullseye the political arena.

This activism illustrates that a house-cleaning needs to begin at every level of the judiciary.

And the damn S.C. and every politician in D.C. will not have to abide by it, because they are exempted from all of this crap.

Backstabbing piece of shyte!!! I am beyond angry. A dark day for America. Mitt claims he would void 0-care via Executive Order. I doubt he has the cojones. We are @*%@&ed by the socialist and collectivists

Plus the SJ said to 0bama...You can keep the borders open to further disfranchise productive America, traditional America, law abiding America

Recall that Roberts held a special second swearing-in ceremony for Zero at the White House.

Why the hell do I keep on supporting Republicans?? WHY?

Are you over the (r) thing now? Because we need to support CONSERVATIVES.

Roberts was never conservative. He doesn't believe in private property rights.

He is every bit as much a traitor as Arnold ... worse, in fact. He is an oathbreaker, just like 0bama, kagan, sotomayor, ginsberg, and breyer, and every worthless fascist democRat in congress that voted for this abomination.

He can burn in hell with the left bloc of the court.
God bless Justices Thomas, Scalia, and Alito.

No. Benedict Arnold was a man of principle. Roberts is a boot licking toad

Time for a revolution. Our forefathers did so for much less tyranny.

Roberts is a leftist. Bush should have picked Janice Rogers Brown who said things Like:

Janice Rogers Brown On American Government
Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible. [“A Whiter Shade of Pale,” Speech to Federalist Society (April 20. 2000)(“Federalist speech” at 8]Where government advances – and it advances relentlessly – freedom is imperiled; community impoverished; religion marginalized and civilization itself jeopardized....When did government cease to be a necessary evil and become a goody bag to solve our private problems? [“Hyphenasia: the Mercy Killing of the American Dream,” Speech at Claremont-McKenna College (Sept. 16, 1999) at 3,4]In the last 100 years – and particularly in the last 30 – ...[g]overnment has been transformed from a necessary evil to a nanny – benign, compassionate, and wise. Sometimes transformation is a good thing. Sometimes, though, it heralds not higher ground but rather, to put a different gloss on Pat Moynihan’s memorable phrase, defining democracy down. [“Fifty Ways to Lose Your Freedom,” Speech to Institute of Justice (Aug. 12, 2000)(“IFJ speech”) at 2][W]e no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens. [IFJ speech at 3-4]Government acts as a giant siphon, extracting wealth, creating privilege and power, and redistributing it. [Speech at McGeorge School of Law (Nov. 21, 1997) at 18][See also Landgate, Inc. v. California Coastal Commission, 953 P.2d 1188, 1212 (Cal. 1998)(Brown, J., dissenting)(referring to government as “relentless siphon.”)]

Janice Rogers Brown on the New Deal, the Great Society, and the “transmutation” of the Constitution
I have argued that collectivism was (and is) fundamentally incompatible with the vision that undergirded this country’s founding. The New Deal, however, inoculated the federal Constitution with a kind of underground collectivist mentality. The Constitution itself was transmuted into a significantly different document...1937...marks the triumph of our own socialist revolution

Clearly, they have blackmail material on Roberts...

No other explanation corresponds with his votes from the bench this week.

He will be at least spoken of along side such luminaries as David Souter.
