I had thought better of him!
Roberts is simply another bad bit of beef in an entire sea of vomit that we euphemistically call the judiciary. Bob
"The only real security of liberty, in any country, is the jealousy and circumspection of the people themselves. Let them be watchful over their rulers. Should they find a combination against their liberties, and all other methods appear insufficient to preserve them, they have, thank God, an ultimate remedy. . . . .Should the government, on trial, be found to want amendments, those amendments can be made in a regular method, in a mode prescribed by the Constitution itself [...]. We have [this] watchfulness of the people, which I hope will never be found wanting." - James Iredell, NC, and Justice of Supreme Court (Debates) Elliot, 4:130
IMPEACH ROBERTS NOW!
Roberts is just another member of the permanent Washington ruling class.
Am beginning to believe that the two party system is just kabuki. Both “parties” work together on the big things so as to become our rulers.
The path to government slavery just advanced another step.
Roberts has destroyed himself. In his quest to be liked by the Establishment, he has caused everyone to lose all respect for him. Even the Establishment doesn’t respect him, it just finds him useful... for now.
It seems that Roberts defenders have become rather scarce today. Where did they go?
Nailed it.
Nonsense. Ask Arizonans. Federal courts discard state laws like they were unwanted lint. The people who vote for Federal Reps and Senators are the same who send legislators to state capitals. Scotus defers to Leftism, not to federalism.
Federalism and our republic are gone.
That a poor man can exist in this country without fear of the government coming down on him for money he does not have just died. Thanks in full to Chief Justice Roberts who decided that Obama could tax people making less than $250,000 for not buying health insurance that they could not afford in the first place to shore up somebody else’s health insurance. If people could not afford it in the first place, how can fining them make sense when they need health care, make them pay for it and the fine involved. He’s a slob!
“Great article.”
Not really except where he finally discovered some of injustice Roberts many contradictions and just begins to understand the inherit problem with what he calls “institutionalism”.
Michael Gerson before that had it backwards in presuming that the ideological ratchet only goes one way because of Constitutionalism rather than institutionalism. If one of them is to allow ideology to go anyway it is institutionalism which on face value admits to “preserving” the institution by way of compromise with political forces(if the predominate force is leftist activism than your institution will do nothing but move left).
Constitutionalism sticks to the firm and anchored foundation of a written constitution, it sways nether left nor right, only back toward the point of anchor after being pulled.
Furthermore Constitutionalism does not necessarily include any kind of “humility” following a “period of liberal activism”.(When is there not liberal activism?) That is a trate of how people deal(or fail to deal) with the activism of others. Frankly I agree being humble with insane leftist ideas is flirting with deaster & enslavement.
