Not sure if you noticed, but the opinion polls before and after the SCOTUS decision was announced suggest that the Chief Justice was too clever by half. The public thinks that the Court stinks, and is even more partisan than ever. And the public is right.
When one close Senate election (Al Franken), when one war (Iraq), when one member of the SCOTUS, can have this big an impact on 3% of the World’s economy, somethIng is rotten in Denmark.
He either chickened out and/or was blackmailed.
I don’t agree with the CJ’s decision, or reasoning, but I do know that Obama, Reid and Pelousy can’t be happy with a new Tax hung around their necks.
FWIW...it’s almost impossible today to attain any meaningful position inside the Beltway if there is not a “lever” THEY can use on you when they need to., it’s why Palin was sent packing back to Alaska. It’s why we now have a RinoCracy.
Justice Roberts is a traitor, a liar, and every bit as deceptive and dubious as the dark one he follows.
“Can the both of the ba$tards.”
They are both liars. They lied to the Senate when being questioned during confirmation hearings. That is not to be tolerated. EVER
If this is true, there will be a fantastic book coming out in December of this year.
I was born a free man and I will die a free man. I refuse to believe that we are such a nation of cowards that we would rather live as slaves than to be free.
You are probably right that no nation has gone from relative oppression to relative freedom. However, no nation has had such a wondrous form of government. That is our hope. If we allow it to disappear, our children will curse us to the seventh generation.
“But the “larger truth”, as the commies like to say, is that the Left knows how to wield power and the Right is unwilling or unable to counter them effectively.”
I once heard a tough CEO who ran his organization with an iron fist say to his executive staff, “Fear is a great motivator.”
The Democrats understand this philosophy and use it to their advantage.
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” — Barack Hussein Obama, January 7, 2011
When Republicans of today disarm before the fight begins the results are predictable. John Roberts was a Bush appointee. How did Bush respond to the constant vitriol from the left? He was silent and when he left office he was hated by much of the population and had lost the respect of many conservative voters. What Roberts doesn’t realize is by not fighting he too will be disdained by both sides and his compromise will not be bring any respect to himself or the Supreme Court.
Any conservative who believes he can reach accommodation with the progressive leftists through capitulation need only look at the pathetic story of Arlen Specter.
That is the theory I go with also.
If his children were adopted illegally, then he has no business on the court. He supposedly knows the law, he should have obeyed it.
I am not going after his kids here, I am only saying that if the facts come out that this is his reason for going with Obama then the man should be removed from the court.
The Heller case was a joke.
The citizens of Washington DC have no more chances of getting weapons now than they did before the Heller case.
The DC City Council just passed a whole lot more regulations that haven’t been taken to the court yet.
The Council can pass regulations faster then the court can hear them.If they will hear them at all. It’s a farce.
One American prisoner was shown on such an NV propaganda film. Although he was shown witha pleasant expression on his face, his eyes were blinking in Morse code: "torture."
Has anyone analyzed Justice Robert's videos?
umm, ≤}B^)
“These men aren’t totally stupid, naive or incompetent, they’re being blackmailed.”
These men ARE totally stupid, naive and incompetent to get theirselves into a position where they can be black mailed and I believe that is exactly what is happening. Its the way the Chicago crowd works and most of these clowns in DC have skeletons in their closets
The decision can be appealed within 25 days , and Roberts could reverse his decision. Not a chance of that happening
It’s a shame that SC justices rule on their political leanings rather than on the Constitution. When you have liberal justices always ruling on the liberal-leaning way and conservative justices doing likewise, then the SC is nothing more than a partisan congress. A justice should be able to rule on an issue even if they don’t want to rule a certain way politically, but doing so would follow the laws of the land. So, if Roberts was worried about perception of the SC and changed his ruling he sure blew it. The SC is a partisan joke.
There may also be behind the scenes blackmail involved.
And Roberts swore the Foreign Bastard in a second time Without A Bible!
For all the Muslim Brotherhood to witness Worldwide!
Either that, or he just voted his conscience, and we’re having a hard time accepting it.
Some secret that would remove him from his position.
Well, since he supposedly leans right its possible he took extra condiments at the Chic fil a?
However had he been a pro-regressive the situation, as most here are quite aware, would be quite different. It could be common knowledge he smoked crack and had relations with a donkeys. Had he been a prog he would probably get Time’s Man of the Year award.
I’m only half joking.
Consider Holder getting away with murder while Nixon was forced out of office over a bouched low level break in.
The people who beg for fairness and equality are not very well, fair or equitable.
Psalm 146:3
Put no trust in princes, in children of Adam powerless to save
