He was threatened.

He wasn’t threatened, he was bought. He loves corporations.

I really believe that the threat of mob violence and burning cities has many “leaders” scared witless.

NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE’S CHILDREN

**Exclusive**

The DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a plot in the NEW YORK TIMES’ newsroom to look into the adoption of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts.

The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.

Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.

Both children were adopted from Latin America.

TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions are part of the paper’s “standard background check.”

He was threatened.

Or his family, to which I respond, "Lives, fortunes, and Sacred Honor," and all that crap, right Johnny boy? You did know that with high honor comes great risk, didn't you? /s

It's not like I haven't taken similar risks myself.

Mr. Roberts is truly a cowardly man who should never have been entrusted with the office that was granted him.

[Don Corleone]

He was threatened.

"You have a nice family there your honor. It'd be a shame if anything happened to them wouldn't it?"

Far fetched? Think Marcy Park.

I remember Pelosi predicting that Roberts would be the deciding vote for commiecare.

Somebody got to him. There I said it.

“He was threatened.”

It’s the Chicago Way.

He was threatened.

Yes he was. One of the threats was posted and linked to from FR. I suspect the real threats were not so publicized.

We don’t know what changed his mind.

I have wondered if he ultimately decided to take the ultra-conservative stand and reject judicial activism, refusing to legislate from the bench.

In essence, what Roberts did was hold elected representatives responsible for passing a terrible piece of legislation (which he alludes to in his opinion), bounce it back to them to clean up their mess, but also give them a way to reverse their mistake by ruling the mandate a tax, a budgetary item. which can be repealed with a simple majority.

He also slapped down fradulent use of the Commerce Clause, as in Wickard vs. Filburn, bolstered states 10th Amendment rights with the Medicaid ruling, and handed the Romney campaign a boatload of good campaign material.

It’s called “The Chicago Way.”

“He was threatened.”

I hate to think this way, but it makes sense.

Either him, a family member, or blackmail of some sort.

At this point, I despise him and can’t imagine changing my opinion.

He was threatened.

Maybe, or he may be dirty.
