After discovered evidence could serve as a basis for a new trial or appeal.
People get hung up in current affairs. For example when Bubba was Prez a lot of people on FR would say he was the worst prez. No way he ever topped Wilson or LBJ. It’s hard to be dispassionate some times. No way is Roberts the worst CJ.

No kidding. I get upset when FReepers claim Jimmy Carter was our worst president.
Seriously? They never heard of Lyndon Baines Johnson?
There's a misconception that the decision upheld ObamaCare in its entirety -- when it was, in fact, it only related to the individual mandate.
There are a whole host of other avenues to challenge to constitutionality of various ObamaCare provisions. Some of them have been successful. Some of them haven't even been pursued at all -- which makes me wonder just how serious some of the alleged opponents of ObamaCare really are.
This is classic witch burning.
Evidence is irrelevant.
Just trying to prevent riots, I’m afraid. So is this a bell weather as to how they will rule on Trump appeals? This is no way to run a democratic republic!
Unless LBJ repented before he died, (and I hope he did -— I’d rather even the worst sinner repent than anyone go to hell) he’s now suffering eternal torment in Hell, so there’s that...
“Roberts has been the worst Chief Justice in the Court’s history.’
He’s bad, but Earl Warren took over in the fifties and was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. He was the king of non-punishment and releasing the most violent offenders.
The legal reason is that the appeal was on a single issue. A later appeal or post-conviction proceedings may raise the argument of actual innocence based on the autopsy findings.
Worse than Roger B. Taney? His decision in the Dred Scott case denied any path to US citizenship for freed slaves. This led to the XIV Amendment to the Constitution and millions of anchor babies from China, Mexico, Haiti and a lot of other 3rd world countries.
Woodrow Wilson very well may be the worst. I don’t think he had people murdered like LBJ did, though. Where will Biden fall on the list? Top 5 easily.
They want no part of what doing the right thing will bring.
Must see Fall of Minneapolis documentary. It is sickening what has happened in the George Floyd narrative. Praying for Derek.
[[The Supremes, I believe, were trying to prevent cities from burning to the ground]]
It’s a very sad fact that blm and antifa are more powerful than even the highest court in the land now- the SC- blm and antifa now dictate how the courts must find, facts be damned- IF courts rule ‘the wrong way” according to blm and antifa- cities get burned to the ground- and the SC is scared out of their wits to cross them
Yes, Warren was bad. But to me, Roberts is key to the destruction of the country by avoiding the really hard questions (other than ROE) and his completely circular and idiotic reasoning (Obamacare). His weakness in the lack of review of cases regarding the 2020 election; the recent decision of the Court to let the government continue use social media as proxies to squash free speech while the courts addressed the matter, the Court letting stand government mandating the vaccine and other cases, have been undercutting the foundation of the country. And to me that is worse than Warren.
I agree that there are other avenues to attack Obamacare... but in what clause of the Constitution did we give the Fed Gov the power to order citizens into private contracts?
They put Chauvin in prison to justify the rioting.

The medical examiner’s report that Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose is not new, and it is probably not an avenue for appeal because it wasn’t withheld from the jury.
The jury concluded that Chauvin was guilty of murder not by strangling Floyd, but by refusing to let EMTs render medical assistance when he was in medical distress.
At its core (from a legal standpoint), the individual mandate was considered constitutional because it was implemented no differently than an income tax exemption for (as just one example) charitable contributions or mortgage interest.
I'm pretty sure his statements were just Dicta and not holdings in the ruling.
The holding that Dred Scott remained a slave and was not freed as a consequence of time he spent in a free state, is correct.
And I have only recently learned that the entire case was intentionally created by activists just to challenge the law.
This led to the XIV Amendment to the Constitution and millions of anchor babies from China, Mexico, Haiti and a lot of other 3rd world countries.
And I wish to point out that the 14th amendment would not have been ratified without puppet governments controlling the Southern states.
The 11 Southern states were effectively proxies for the DC government, and were not actually independent states at the time.
No amendments should have been allowed to be voted on by them while they were still under Federal occupation. They did not have legitimate governments elected by their citizens.
I have never heard that claim before. My recollection is that the EMTs just took a long time to get there, and Chauvin was holding him down until they arrived.
