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.

It was Alito that “confronted” Obama (more like answered his smears).

I hope untrue. One day people will take a stand aginst this travesty that is happening, they will simply open their door and start moving toward DC because it is then they will know there is nothing left to lose.

We are so screwed if this is true. The country will never be the same. The current supreme court is the firewall against Obama.

No, the major shareholder last I heard was Altman.

Advisor to Kerry and Hillary and according to wiki

“In 2009, Altman was on the list of Bilderberg Meeting Attendees in Greece.”

Roberts could be caught kidnapping children to perform in the North Korean Man-Boy circus...and I’d still want him to stay.

LOL!

by definition, procedurally green-lighted means there was no philosophical/ideological underpinning and any jurist worth his salt is going to follow the law, as procedural issues are pretty cut and dried. it’s insanity to eke out some insinuation that he’s gay based on a procedural ruling.

Evidently this was totally false? If so, Drudge erred in not verifying it before posting.

Shame on you, Matt.

as the subject of gay rumormongering himself, you’d think drudge would be a bit more sensitive to going with something prematurely that’s this incendiary.

Credibility = laughable. Interesting to see who runs these rags. They do have an agenda. Why would Drudge run with this headline?

In related news, VRWCmember has obtained new information that as of this moment, both houses are still in democrat control, Obama is still President, Biden has not died nor been impeached, and hillary has decided to continue as Secretary of State, any rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.
