Roberts voted with the 4 liberals in a case about allowing states to sue banks because individual citizens were not warned properly about taking out too big a loan during the housing crisis.
The individuals will get none of any money from the suit. The state itself was not an injured party. None of the individuals are party to the suit.
It is a truly odd position for Roberts to find himself in.
“Roberts voted with the 4 liberals in a case about allowing states to sue banks...”
I was thinking about his vote on the ACA (obamacare) — Clearly the admin was holding something over his head.
The fines paid by the banks went to the very same community organizers that forced the banks to give risky loans to minorities to begin with.
