Matthews Slimes: John Roberts Doesn't Want to be Like Slave Judge Behind Dred Scott

Posted on 06/27/2012 6:07:03 PM PDT by chessplayer

According to liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts being the fifth vote to strike down Obamacare would make him the "second Roger Taney," the Civil War-era high judge who delivered the majority opinion in the Dred Scott Case and upheld the Fugitive Slave Act.

they need a fall guy when it gets overturned....hasn’t Roberts battled with obama in the past???

Perhaps Roberts did make a deal to rule against SB1070 in exchange for his vote against the individual mandate, Kagan blabbed, the libs took the AZ ruling and now they're trying at the last minute to get the whole enchilada.

Wouldn't be the first time they welched on a deal.

Its fun to speculate but tomorrow will be a nailbiter, for sure.

Socialism is SLAVERY TO THE STATE.

Possibly a proper analogy was drawn, but the conclusion by the presstitute was ass-backwards.

Roberts was Bush's selection to head the SCOTUS- if they lose they will say Roberts cast the “deciding” vote and its Bush's fault...

America hates Obamacare.

Either Obamacare goes, or America goes; there’s only room for one.

It sounds like PMSNBC’s little commie loser is afraid Roberts is going to dump CommieCare. Go tingle yourself Chrissy!

He was quite coy about the source and in his comments. But it was along the lines of don’t be shocked about what you see from Roberts.
