Inside Story on How Roberts Changed His SCOTUS Vote on Obamacare (How C. J. Roberts screwed America)
Forbes ^ | 07/01/2012 | Avik Roy

Posted on 11/22/2018 8:56:04 AM PST by UnstableGenius

The Obamacare Supreme Court ruling seemed strange. Chief Justice John Roberts’ reasoning was incoherent. The conservative’s dissent read like it was originally meant to be a majority opinion. Now, we know why. According to Jan Crawford of CBS News, John Roberts switched sides in May, withstanding a “one-month campaign” from his conservative colleagues to change his mind.

I smell blackmail.

Either gay pictures from college or they threatened to undo his illegal adoptions.

When I heard James Comey’s explanation of Hillary’s exoneration, it was like hearing Roberts’ Obamacare opinion all over again.

From November 2013:

‘Was Chief Justice John Roberts Blackmailed To Support ObamaCare?’ Obviously, we had to check this out, and lo and behold it links to a tea party message board post about how Chief Justice Roberts changed his decision on the health care reform law after he was “blackmailed” by President Obama as part of an illegal adoption and child trafficking scheme.

It is now quite evident that the two Children were from Ireland. Even wikipedia references these adoptions at the time of Roberts’ confirmation, and indicates that the children were of Irish birth.

However Irish law 1) prohibits the adoption of Children to non-residents, and 2) also does not permit private adoptions, but rather has all adoptions go through a public agency.

Evidently Roberts arranged for this adoption through some sort of trafficking agency, that got the children out of Ireland and into that Latin American country, from which they were adopted, thereby circumventing two Irish laws — entirely illegal, but perhaps quasi-legitimized by the birth mothers (two) transporting the children out of Ireland.

Undoubtedly Roberts and his wife spent a great deal of money for this illegal process, circumventing Irish laws and arranging for the transit of two Irish children from separate birth-mothers to a foreign nation. Come 2012, those two children have been with the Roberts’ for roughly 10 years, since they were adopted as “infants”.

Roberts is not deserving of any sort of respect here, and is only the latest example of people in position believing themselves above the law, beyond scrutiny and exempt from repercussion.

It all now makes sense.

The circumstances of these two adoptions explain not only why this would be overlooked by an overall sympathetic media, but also why a sitting Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court would not want this information to become public fodder well into his tenure. Its release and public discussion would discredit Roberts as an impartial judge of the law, and undoubtedly lead to his impeachment.

This also explains why Roberts would have a means to be blackmailed, and why that leverage would still exist even after the institution of ObamaCare.

… And it has led to flipping the swing-vote on ObamaCare, which fundamentally changed the relationship between citizen and government, making us de facto property of the state, with our relative worth in care and maintenance able to be determined by the government. Essentially it was a coup without firing a shot, much less needing even an Amendment to the Constitution.

And it is consistent with Obama’s Chicago-style politics, that has previously involved opening other sealed records in order to win election.

Even to this day whatever they threatened him with is probably still in the custody of some deep state critter so they can pull it out at a moment’s notice.

The Clintons had those hundreds of FBI files ... who knows what more was added to those while she was SoS or what Obama squirreled away for a rainy day?

Why we need another conservative justice on the panel. Roberts is NOT reliable in my estimation. And, I drove by a Holiday Inn express the other day so I should know.

from the article:

Instead (Roberts) invented out of whole cloth a new definition of taxation that contravenes long-standing precedent. He added hundreds of billions of dollars to the federal deficit, by way of his Medicaid ruling. And he forever tarnished his legacy as a Justice, and his promise to the nation that he would serve as an umpire, and “remember that it’s my job to call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat.”

So you’re saying Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was involved in human trafficking.

And, suspiciously, Obummer was saying all along that SCOTUS would uphold his Satan’s baby. He knew something....

“...Roberts caved into left-wing media pressure to uphold the law:...”

No he didn’t, he was BLACKMAILED, THREATENED, CORRUPTED, OWNED.

Dead girls, live boys, there is no other explanation.

Illegal adoption under Irish law.

The author’s use of the term human trafficking is just a way to sensationalize the story or sully Roberts IMO.

Is there still time for the House to proffer Articles of Impeachment?

Precisely that-— was going to post the details.

Frankly, it was obamaumao and his “people” who had LOTS of dirt on Roberts..(including ironically, since obamaumao and rahm emmanuel are both “gay bathhouse boys” members of a particularly disgusting Chicago queer club— that Roberts has a “unseemly” past so called “hidden”, with telling photos).

It was the adoption of his two Irish orphan children— through the country of Brazil— that drew the most attention. Frankly, they blackmailed him with “due process” again ironically over ..immigration law and adoption laws. Just as they would for Christians who adopted Kazakhstan orphans from the old Soviet state— many of whom were alcohol babies (no surprise, and with neurologic disorders from fetal alcohol exposure in the womb).

To adopt white foreign children— oh— it’s blackmail worthy for such a supposed “originalist” as Roberts. Of side interest— particularly- is that right after the Mandate vote of SCOTUS— Roberts takes off via private jet (whose?) to .....MALTA (for a Knights of Malta conclave? or.. what) without family or wife. IO1 he is owned... by several somebodys.

And, i believe that obamaumao has “gotten” to Roberts yet again to trash Trumps’ truthful commentary on the 9th Circuit and specifically chosen bought and paid for obamaumao lib judges who are part of the deep state. AS is Roberts, perhaps— because IT IS ROBERTS who selects the judges for the FISA Court!, and who is the executive manager of that special foreign intelligence court procedures and jurisprudence!! Obamaumao is scared crapless about the coming reveal of his Stalinist use of the FISA court to SURVEIL Gen. Flynn, Mr. Trump and a host of others. And it is is Admiral Rogers who brought the info to trump two weeks after the 2016 Election win (making Rogers a Constitutional Hero!).

So, yes- they threatened to expose his kids— and for this repartee’ defense of marxist scum obamaumao— once again doing it. It is what chi-town scum do-— mob threaten.

And even when he called it a tax, it was still unconstitutional. Tax bills must start in the house.
