No argument here. Roberts cannot be relied upon to hand down decisions based on the Constitution. (Obviously)

I gotta go with you on that one. In this day and time, being queer is a badge of honor. Eventually, obamacare will strangle the Nation with its rules and regulations. Just as it was designed to do.

I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that Roberts is being blackmailed for buying a kid illegally from a child trafficking ring or that he is a closet homosexual but there is a even more obvious and simple explanation for his Obamacare vote. Like the rest of the GOPe, he is a big government loving liberal at heart and thinks Obamacare is a grand idea.

One thing that really helps validate this and could hardly be considered a coincidence is his wife’s family is from the same area, Cork, Ireland, that his kids were adopted from. Too much coincidence there.

Roberts SHOULD be the most hated man in the USA, but nothing..........no one even mentions this POS’s name. Can’t even begin to tell you what should be done.....well, you get the point! He helped that Kenyan prick further destroy OUR country. You figure it out from here!

"...then he could be impeached and his decisions might even be vacated."

He'd first have to be convicted by this House of Reps.

And then Obama gets to replace him. Yeah, right.

Get a grip. You really think that would happen?

FReegards!

If he is nothing but a puppet of the left, he needs to be removed. Better an open Obama appointee than a stealth one who can crush hopes for a Constitutional decision over and over.

Let me guess:

You probably vote 3rd party all the time too just to "send 'em a message."

It certainly appears that some peoples' strategy around here lately is as logical as "open mouth, insert gun."

FReegards!

You shouldn't make assumptions. I voted for Romney and I voted for McCain. The point I was making that if Roberts is owned by Obama, better to know it and have him removed than to endure the spirit and morale crushing of endless disappointments of betrayal.

Extortion is also illegal. If this is true, Roberts should say who is blackmailing him.

Look at who we have become- in America- the land of free and brave. I can’t get anyone to care at all, about the injustice of what we have lost- as long as their is a Superbowl on TV- or a handful of free food stamps.

Buck up, or stay in the truck.

You signed up at Free Republic just three months ago just so you could come here and moan about how the world is coming to an end?

Sniff....

Do a google search on “John Roberts gay” and I think you will be convinced. There are some pretty blatant photographs of him and his, um, buddies.

But more to the point, back when he was a lawyer in DC, he apparently did pro bono work for a gay group. What is said out there in the world of gossip, is that when he was younger (ie, before getting married) this was sort of common knowledge.

For my part...my methodology is a little more intuitive. Once I began to ponder what exactly happened last summer, when he changed his vote last minute, I looked for the first time at a photo of him with that queer smirk that he has. When I “looked” for the first time, it struck me: “Oh my gosh! This guy is very gay!”. So I immediately went to google, and did a search and was surprised (well, actually, not surprised) by the wealth of info out there.

Though I haven’t done such a search, I’d wager if you did a google of “Antonin Scalia gay” you wouldn’t come up with much. With regards to this issue, my personal life experience is that where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

I have no doubt that Roberts is gay. (Sort of explains the very late in life marriage and the adoptions, doesn’t it?).

I did not doubt you. I just need to know how to respond to someone who said,”How do you know that?”

“If this is true, that he circumvented Irish law and thereby violated international treaties on international adoption, then he could be impeached and his decisions might even be vacated.”

If anyone’s going to persue what you have said above, it will be the ‘rats.

Once Roberts is removed, Obama will have free reign to install a leftist as his new “personal chief justice”.

Perhaps Ann Lander’s famous question needs to be asked:
Are we better off with Justice Roberts, or without him?

With him, we at least have a marginal conservative filling that seat. One who may or may not be pressured, depending on the case.
Without him…. ?????

This story probably “has legs”, if the media truly wants to investigate. The facts are there to be uncovered, even if that requires “a price”.

Perhaps if Roberts issues too many anti-Obama rulings, “the one” may finally put his foot down and issue the media their marching orders.

In that case, the country may end up with “the without him” scenario...

Seems to me he already has one in Roberts.

Yes, it certainly could happen.

First of all, you have your facts wrong. A justice of the Supreme Court is impeached by the House and faces trial in the Senate.

If Roberts did in fact engage in unethical conduct, there might be sufficient number of Republicans in the House to vote articles of impeachment against him. It goes without saying that all the ‘rats in the House would go along with this.

I’m not sure how it would go in the Senate. It takes 2/3 to convict, I believe. Of course, all the ‘rats in the Senate would vote for removal, perhaps even a handful of Republicans “on principle”, but Roberts might still survive a conviction vote.

HOWEVER — in that case, even though he had not been forcibly removed, I don’t see him as being able to remain on the Court afterwards. He would probably resign and fade away. Remember, sometimes the appearance of impropriety is as damaging to one’s reputation as the improprieties themselves.

If the ‘rats are willing to force the issue of impeachment, I think they might well “win”, regardless of whether Roberts is convicted — or not...
