Who or what is Chief Justice John Roberts protecting?

Save the investigation, so that the offending Leftist justice can be disbarred and removed when President Trump is back in the White House to name her replacement.

The leaker was the author himself, Alito. And he leaked it because he heard of Roberts attempt to change votes. By leaking he “froze” kavanaugh’s squishy vote to overturn Roe.

If the was indeed a Justice, the liberal reporter at Politico who broke the story and published the draft opinion now has kompromat on her.

Right. That is the key sentence in the whole essay.

However, if as seems likely, it was one of the nihilist justices, there would hardly be any need for a liberal to blackmail her.

Interesting points.

"The reason that abortion does not rise to the level of a Constitutional right is that it compels another person to perform the abortion DIE."

[Organic Panic]

I still believe it was Breyer. Roberts will protect him knowing he too, will get the high roller media, speaking, and book deals that will make him millions in retirement.

"The reason that abortion does not rise to the level of a Constitutional right is that it compels another person to perform the abortion DIE."

While I agree with the spirit of your statement, loss of life is allowed in the Constitution, but only with due process.

5th Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

14th Amendment

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I can understand why you see Sotomayor as a suspect. So do I. But I wonder why you dismiss the possibility of it being Kagan. Or maybe you don’t.

[HKMk23]

“...but only with due process.”

Which no unborn person has ever had access to, because only “persons” have these rights, and even this latest SCOTUS decision stopped short of recognizing the unborn as “persons.” Hell, they aren’t even 3/5 of a “person” under present Law; they’re of lower legal status than Antebellum slaves.

[Boomer]

Maybe I’m wrong but I think Kagan is too smart, self aware, and self preserving. Sotomayor is none of those things.

That goes back to my question about life beginning at conception? What is it called when a zygote is flushed naturally from a woman, often without her even knowing it? Was it life? Was it killed? Is it life as a zygote or does life begin at the embryonic stage?

We agree that abortion does not rise to the level of a constitutional right, but it seems we are quibbling over the reasons why. To me, that becomes a distinction without a difference. It's unconstitutional either way.

We all know Roberts is compromised ask Obama why he is

[itsahoot]

I don’t get why he became Chief Justice.

The Bush family knew they would need him.
