"I think it is personal," the Texas senator said about Justice John Roberts' motivation to turn away from the conservative movement with his court decisions........
Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz says Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts "despises Donald Trump," which accounts for a number of the decisions he had made from the top seat on the high court in recent years.
In an appearance on David Brody's recently launched show "The Water Cooler," Senator Cruz, an attorney and author of the new book "One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History," told the host that "John Roberts has become the new Sandra Day O'Connor."
Cruz said he agrees with Vice President Mike Pence, who in an interview last month, told David Brody that Justice Roberts has been a "disappointment to conservatives."
However, Cruz believes that part of Roberts' pivot away from conservative-minded jurisprudence is motivated by personal hatred toward the president. "I think it is personal," said the senator.
"It is difficult to come up with two human beings more antithetical than John Roberts and Donald Trump, in every respect," he continued.
In addition to the release of his new book, the Senator is presently gearing up to begin the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings of conservative Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
He confirmed on "The Water Cooler" that believes, despite the challenges posed by coronavirus, that the committee has the capacity to move forward in a timely manner with the judge's hearing. Cruz also mentioned that Barrett, in a socially distanced form, met with lawmakers in the Mansfield room at the Capitol last week to prepare for the process.
The first warning sign should have been the fact that Roberts’ high school cast him as Peppermint Patty in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”
I would have cast him as Pigpen..................
Because? All these leftist liberal come out with hate and vitriol against Trump but never ever state a reason other than basic liberal hate diatribes.
Well, Roberts, old boy....the feeling is pretty much mutual by most of America.
Hey, by the way, was that YOU on the Epstein flight manifest that got released a couple of weeks back?
How was your trip to the island? Have fun? Why don’t you tell us about it? Any pictures...or does the DNC have em all?
Gays hate Trump. Roberts hates Trump. Just sayin’....
It would be time to start working on the Impeachment of John Roberts.
I don’t say it is untrue. By my God — to be a Supreme Court Chief Justice and to make decisions based on the fact that you don’t like guys like the President is pretty extreme. A judge is supposed to be a little more serious about the job than that.
So Justice Roberts is going to destroy the country because of his personal hatred of one man? I’m not buying that. He either hates America, is drool-stupid or is bribed/blackmailed.
Roberts hates anything right of the left.
Good for cRuz to call out CJ Roberts’ obvious disdain, for POTUS.
I would have thought he’d be a “Marcie”.
Same repressed homo thing going on.
His Obamacare decision makes me wonder if he does take his job seriously
He’s a Bushie.
What do you expect?!
So who did Epstein ensnare in his honey trap? John Roberts the guy who plays Linda Belcher on Bob’s Burgers, John Roberts the Fox News host, or John Roberts the Supreme Court Chief Justice?
I’ll take ‘Blackmailed’ for $1000, Alex......................
Somebody has altar boy Roberts by the newts.
All of the above?....................
That is not a universal given......................
Roberts has been trending left way before Trump was elected.
