This article is the BusinessInsider.Com take.

Do they make the point that this Malta trip has been on the docket for some time now and not a spur of the moment thing? He’s teaching a two week course at the University of Malta’s Foundation for International Studies. Hype sells no matter which side the aisle one sits on.

[rolling_stone]

Inquiring minds want to know what class is he going to teach, The Supreme Court for Dummies?

[boomop1]

Send Mitch Rapp.

[Venturer]

I hope he enjoys Malta so much that he stays there.

He does us less harm there than here.

[Bluebird Singing]

Timing of the announcement of the decision wasn’t a spur of the moment thing either. Convenient escape for the coward.

[F15Eagle]

“Timing of the announcement of the decision wasn’t a spur of the moment thing either.”

I agree.

[knarf]

Robert's decision was devastating to me as well as many patriots here.

But if there's one thing I've learned in my (sometimes I think too many) years, it's that once a decision has been made, or a law passed, we can bitch and moan all we want but bitching and moaning is a waste of time .. it accomplishes nothing but a display at how well (or badly) we use words.

The Roberts rule is in, the tax is in, and zero is a criminal usurping bastard.

I'm focussing on November.

The ball-less gop (lower case intentional) won't impeach, so we need to remove the gop that's useless, keep the ones that are good, bring more into the system, take the White House back (fumigate extensively), get the Senate and keep the House of Rep.

If we're gonn'a use a lot of words, let's let them be productive words to reclaim OUR America ... the one we loved before all this hopey/changey shit.

I use for my mental imagery the Founding Fathers and Norman Rockwell.

[Spirochete]

[spokeshave]

...Yeah...just checking out those account numbers I found on the back of an envelope.

[F15Eagle]

My feeling is, it is best to document all reasonable aspects.

I meet SOOOOOOOOOOO many uninformed people on a daily basis, that it astonishes me.

What we all take for granted as “common knowledge” here on FR, I’d say 98% of the country is ignorant of, uninformed about or absolutely apathetic about.

[arrdon]

Maybe he’ll find someone to give him a refresher in Common Sense 101....

[knarf]

EXACTLY the reason why we need to talk to people outside of our comfort zone.

I have a sweet PT job doing dealer exchanges for a Mercedes dealership ... GREAT supplimental to my pitiful SS.

Of all the people I've met that are essentially ignorant, I think car salespeople .. maybe ALL in sales ... are the worst.

I remember when I was an in home cemetery salesman, and when you're commission only, you're pumped FULL of PMA.

With THAT reverberating between your ears, politics is an intrusion and interference.

[LibsRJerks]

Lookin’ all spiffy in his elitist blue blazer and carrying his leather attache ...

[CincyRichieRich]

How quaint; visiting Malta, where many Muslims reside...it is a Muslim state by the way. Why did he choose Malta?

Yes, I do believe he was black mailed. The truth will come out eventually.

[knarf]

I just realized ... does the photo appear photo-shopped?

The briefcase is too sharp, compaRITIVELY AND EVEN rOBERTS HIMSELF ... THE WHOLE COMPOSITION JUST SEEMS ... OUT OF WHACK.

Damned fat, clumsy fingers ... always hittin' capslock ... and I'm just tired of going back and tryin' to remember what I typed.

[1010RD]

To coincide with the decision? It wasn’t like nobody knew they’d be ruling on Obamacare was it?

Malta? To teach a class? Pretty convenient.

[Flint]

CRR a quick search for religion in Malta finds the following:

The predominant religion in Malta is Christianity, with Roman Catholicism being the predominant denomination. Most Maltese claim to be Catholic and participate in Catholic religious services and the Constitution of Malta establishes Catholicism as the state religion. Catholicism is also present in various elements of Maltese culture.

[CincyRichieRich]

How quaint; visiting Malta, where many Muslims reside...it is a Muslim state by the way. Why did he choose Malta?

Yes, I do believe he was black mailed. The truth will come out eventually.

[B Knotts]

Huh?!?? There are very few Muslims in Malta. Almost everyone there is Catholic.

[CincyRichieRich]

Huh?!?? There are very few Muslims in Malta. Almost everyone there is Catholic.

I guess I shouldn’t listen to friends who think they know everything...here’s my new wording...
How quaint, Roberts in Malta...let’s just hope he decides to not come back.

[Girlene]

I think that would be Supreme Court for Traitors.

[ecomcon]

Make one where there are 2 balloons. One for the breifcase and one for his thoughts. They are both empty. Ambassador without portfolio, or something.

Puke on all Statists.

[Travis McGee]

[OldEarlGray]

Even at that distance - the hairpiece looks as phoney as the conservative mind that’s allegedly beneath it.

Good enough for the uniformed 98% Useful Idiot population though.

[F15Eagle]

It’s the look on his face that I seemed to notice.

[rabidralph]

OUCH!

[rabidralph]

OTOH, are there any Rapp’s left or have they been given up by the administration’s national security sieves?

[OldEarlGray]

>>the look on his face

Contemptuous.

And I thought he’d be taller, too. Short man, long robes.

[virgil]

I wonder how the Maltese are paying him for this?

[OldEarlGray]

30 pieces of silver?

[RetiredArmy]

Any chance the slug will stay there. He left to escape the heat of the American citizens. It was way too hot for the newest member of the Peoples Dimocratic Socialist Party.

[wardaddy]

Malta aside from being the old historical jumping off point for Crusaders having enough funds to hire ships is one of the world's primary places of merchant ship registration.

I used to own freighters 25 years ago and my first had Valletta on the stern to indicate home port.

Beautiful place...extremely historic and yes...very Catholic..nearly all native Maltese are Catholic.

it is one of the few places left in Christendom where abortion is illegal

very tightly packed on the main island

one caveat...women are pretty inaccessible there...like Sicily ...clannish about that to the point of intimidation

you find a girl there and she is likely a tourist or Brit resident

as a young shipping lad/owner while I soaked up the architecture and history and that usual turquoise Med water

I preferred the side attractions of Spain or Italy in that part of the world

[B Knotts]

I can certainly agree with that!

[NoGrayZone]

I’m soooo in love with that fake man!!

[conservativesister]

who takes a briefcase on vacation?

[WXRGina]

He doesn't look like he's very tall.

[NoGrayZone]

You are quite right. I talk to the girls in the office, on a daily basis, on what’s been going on.

They have no idea what I’m talking about; therefore, I inform them.

My bff used to be the same as well. Lately, she’s been surprising me, bringing up a subject before I do. When she sees the shocked look on my face, she’ll say “after all these years of you talking, I started paying attention”.

My boss and I discuss politics on a daily basis. Lately, he’s been bringing up all this crap going on w/ patients.

He usually starts out with asking them what they do for a living, then asks how the economy has affected their business. We’ve been hit hard and he is doing all he can, as we are, to hang in there.

One trend we have noticed.....people are now paying for their root canals w/ credit cards instead of checks. A couple of years ago, checks were the main source, now it is credit cards.

[WXRGina]

who takes a briefcase on vacation?

Maybe that's his "purse."

[dragonblustar]

Roberts is a coward and a traitor. He should stay in Malta.

[personalaccts]

Amen

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Where are his "wife" and "kids?"

Or is this a "Boy's Town" type outing?

[BarnacleCenturion]

“who takes a briefcase on vacation?”

The briefcase was probably there waiting for him.

[itssme]

Don't give a damn what his reasons were...he is a traitor and belongs with the rest of the damned in the Traitors Hall of Shame. Traitors come from all walks of life, in all shapes and colors. Roberts is a big boy and he should know what the stakes are in his position as Chief Justice. He chose to join the left, and betray We The People, the Constitution and OUR liberty and freedom, for the legacy, the glory, the pat on the back by obozo. This from the same man who sat in the audience at the State of the Union address, mouthing the words, “you lie”, as obozo chided and ridiculed the SCOTUS. This from the man whose office would be publicly ridiculed for all to see and hear by this leftist “president”, and who then turns around and aids and abets obozo. This is a kiss-azz, despicable loser who needs to be loved and accepted, who needs to be a hero, who wants a legacy. We must shame him...and pray that his conscience does its job.

[BradyLS]

Ties are so passe. All the cool kids go for the Hollywood open-collar look.

[JayAr36]

The face of a sell out. May Malta welcome him the way we would, Boos, Boos, and more Boos.

[cherokee1]

Looks like the back door of the place from here——

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

...and pray that his conscience does its job.

May that be so until he loses his mind.
