radar online ^ | 3/04

John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is seriously considering stepping down from the nation’s highest court for personal reasons, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Roberts, known for his conservative judicial philosophy, has served on the Supreme Court since 2005, having been nominated by President George W. Bush after the death of former Chief William Rehnquist.

RadarOnline.com has been told that Roberts, 55, could announce his decision at any time.

The decision paves the way for President Barack Obama to make his second appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court following his first, Sonia Sotomayor.

Pray. Hard.

Absolutely. What a horrible disaster that would be.

If this is true then someone who told Radar Online was probably gay, who else would think of telling RO?

I hope its not true.

I don’t have any land in the hills yet and not enough guns for the fall of civilization.

Yes, we likely are too fargone to save. No sense in giving up though.

Fox reporting..makes me laugh. Probably read it sighted it here with all the reads..Fox never sticks its neck out! They are too big to "chance" a fail. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I like Fox Business and some of the Fox news staff, fan of Brit Hume, Greta, Wallace, etc...

But getting a scoop? It probably came from FreeRepublic first with all the research FReepers do..to speed through the research.

"I Own Me (yep, boiled down to 6 letters)"

A=A Two letters and a symbol.. even better than God's: "I am."


So true what you say about the better guns (etc). I don't see many factoring that in.

I certainly hope the “Oathkeepers” live up to their pledge.

I posted an answer to another freeper... not you. Get a grip. Posted as just an example of sites that foster rumors re: the Court. Have a nice day.

Like silly rumors about Johnny Edwards having a lovechild?

Good point. National Inquirer is a much more reliable news source than this radar online site.

Rahm needs to be sent to a place where there are cement walls, bars on windows and they have orange jumpsuits

-- The ruling did not address the question of same sex marriage, only legal jurisdiction --

"Procedurally green-lighted" was what I said. It appears you are saying the same thing.

I was worried till I want to this website and noticed that their graphics look just like Tiger Beat Magazine from the 70’s.

I think someone out there is trying to give The Onion some competition.
