You dont know who that.picking justices is somewhat of a crapshoot.
I dont know if there were many dissents here when Roberts was picked. I remember mostly positive posts
Because we can always be certain that any muslim with a “bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States" would never break the law or do anything to harm us.
Oh! Wait a minute!
Isn't that exactly what happened in the San Bernardino mass murder?
Isn't that exactly what happened in the Boston mass murder?

Roberts is a constitutional moderate, Kennedy a liberal. Makes sense that they sometimes agree.
Here, Roberts probably pulled Kennedy away from some outrageous coup attempt by the four whackos that hate the Constitution.
Remember it was Roberts that wrote the opinions of both sides of the Heath Care Debate.
It was Roberts that gave us Obamacare. A Bush appointee imagine that?
For the good of the Supreme Court and the Judicial Branch. John Roberts should be asked to resign. He is 100% compromised.

The man is a coward
he just voted NOT to protect gun rights in california- He got obamacare through based on a lie (and asinine opinion after the vote), He got gay marriage through I believe- I’d say he’s not in the middle but almost completely liberal now- at least heavily leaning left
Didn't the revised EO include an exception for people "in transit" because of the chaos over the sudden implementation of the first EO?
I suppose one could debate whether "in transit" begins when the visa is issued, or does it only begin when one actually steps onto the airplane?
If "in transit" begins when the visa is issued (permission granted to travel to the United States), then perhaps there is enough wiggle room to declare that these people are covered by the EO exception and that it is not SCOTUS legislating from the bench?
I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here...

Kennedy will retire and be replaced by a conservative, and Roberts will turn into another Kennedy.
We could have had Harriet Miers ;-)
“...long line of disappointing republican SCOTUS appointments.”
As opposed to liberal judges who are appointed to pursue a liberal agenda. They NEVER disappoint their backers.

Roberts' judicial philosophy seems to be that people should get what they voted for. These three examples are consistent with this.
The SCOTUS brand of injunction against the EO is a real mystery, in light of what Executive Order 13780 says on its face.
Notice the SCOTUS ruling and modified injunction makes no reference to Section 3 of the EO it puprots to modify. Section 3(b) of the EO has exceptions to the "ban," and from my read, those exceptions look like the "bona fide relationship exemption" set forth by SCOTUS.
He’ll be the swing vote but I expect him to stay a moderate.
However as long as those four whackos are there ANY error by one of the other justices will be pounced on and made a majority opinion.
And if at any time just ONE of the reasonable Justices is replaced by a Dem president we will have a court that hates the Constitution.
Currently, there are 52 Senators who identify as Republicans. Let's say that Trump nominates a staunch conservative, especially one, like Napolitano, who is a high profile originalist. It is a given that the 47 Democrats, plus Bernie Sanders, will oppose the nomination. However, unlike the replacement of Scalia with Gorsuch, a replacement will change the ideological balance of the Supreme Court. If Ginsburg or Kennedy retire, voluntarily or not, a Napolitano type relationship will change the ideology rightward. In this case, will the likes of Murkowski, McCain, Graham, etc., get a bout of "conscience" and oppose the nomination? If the enemy can pull off just three RINOs, the nomination will fail.
From our Bush conservative family...not. They were in bed with themselves and Clinton from the beginning.
So, is someone just trying to make it LOOK like they’ve done some ‘reining in’?
Roberts was recommended by Cruz.
obamacare was NOT what people voted for- it was a lie- it was peddled as a lie, the architect even bragged about how stupid Americans were duped by it and roberts perpetuated that lie and then gave such an asinine opinion about the case that it had legal experts shaking their heads in disbelief- roberts lied to us to get this abominationcare passed- personally pulling the wool over people’s eyes- so no- that is not what peopel voted for- He had to be deceitful in order to get the damned thing passed
