PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans' opinions of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts are now much more negative than they were seven years ago, with the most recent reading coming soon after he joined the four Democratic appointees on the court to uphold the U.S. healthcare law. Republicans' favorable rating of Roberts is down 40 percentage points from 2005, while Democrats' is up 19.

Favorability Ratings of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts

Gallup did not measure Americans' opinions of Roberts between September 2005 and the most recent survey, conducted July 9-12. It is a reasonable assumption, however, that a good deal of the shift in attitudes occurred as a result of the June 28 Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, a ruling whose majority opinion was written by Roberts.

He could easily be compared to Benedict Arnold - a once trusted General turned traitor!

Roberts is the Earl Warren of our time. A total and complete joke for the ages. He is the conservative equivalent to Judas Iscariot. Pathetic pariah who will be shunned forever.

Roberts is a Benedict Arnold to the Republicans. Cannot be trusted. He is too concerned about his reputation and what the RATS would think about him. The rule of law be damned!

Ahhh Johnny, don’t pay those conservatives any mind. You payed the ultimate tribute to your NWO masters, so now just go out and have fun!

You now have access to all the booze and girls and exclusive cocktail parties the Washington establishment can supply! You’ll be welcome at major universities all around the country. And your thirty pieces of silver will buy a lot too.
