John Roberts is a scheming rightwing hack

[FoxNewsSucks]

We knew this from the 2000 election anyway.

I noted that while Roberts voted with the liberals regarding the sleazy Texas abortion law, he did NOT join Sotomayor's dissent.

He doesn't disagree with the law, he just voted that way so that the vote couldn't be called a party-line decision. As some have noted, he does have a little concern over "appearances".

1. Roberts just shot his legacy to shit...

2. Short version of your post...

He is a member of The Federalist Society

[RANDYWILDMAN]

3. He is also a piece of crap

I apologize to pieces of crap !


Citizens united, he knew exactly what would happen.

Voting rights act, he knew exactly what would happen.

Bush v Gore he made happen what evently got him on the court. quid pro quo for the federalist society at least

What a person of garbage ! Rot in hell you dirty bastard

[brush]

5. Yep. The majority of SCOTUS justices are sneaky, underhanded...

crook weasels who operated in the dead of night, or should I say, didn't operate in the dead of night, to snatch Constitutional rights from women.

Just blatant and open, anti-women cruelty.

8. I had it out with my mom today over that Texas shameful actions

She is not really against abortions, but she told me today she never really thought people who are anti abortion are not cruel towards women, I nearly screamed and said the freakin Texas law was all about being very very cruel to women !

Thomas is a non thinking robot who does what Ginnie says
Alito is a blowhard who thinks he smarter then everybody
Phoney-Barrett is a handmaiden who checks with her husband house leader to see if it's ok
Boof boy Kav is a Misogynist at heart and still loves his wife bringing him his Beer
Gorsuch middle named Mckill, a federalist plant nothing more

6. If I'm feeling really cynical...

... I also think that he voted this way to keep Justice Bryer from thinking that the court has been completely overrun by right wing ideologues.

Usually feeling really cynical about these right wing hacks is the way to go...

[LiberatedUSA]

10. It is absolutely all those reasons.

He is the snake in the grass they don’t want you to see coming.

[Carlitos Brigante]

7. He's a sack of shit. But he wasn't in the SC in 2000. Unless you

mean the scumbaggery he was up to back then in a lower court..

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. I meant the scumbaggery of his work on Bush v Gore

Amy Phoney Barret and BeerBong Brett were also on war criminal Bush's legal team.

Gorsuck was nominated to the Tenth Circuit in 2006, by Bush.

Quite a reunion, isn't it.

[Carlitos Brigante]

19. Ah yes! And if I remember. That crying frat boy ass-clown was part of

the dreaded Clenis hunt back in the day. What a reunion indeed. A "collection of assholes", if I may quote Thomas Jefferson . Add Judge Crazy Eyes into the mix and we're fucked.......

9. Roberts' opinion in Shelby v. Holder was horrible

According to this racist asshole, there is no more racial discrimination in the world anymore. Less than 4 hours after this opinion, Texs reinstated the strictist voter id law in the country. Luckily, Rep. Veasey, Chad Dunn and the state party sued and got the law mostly gutted.

Chad just got his judgment for attorneys fees affirmed today

11. K&R, I JUST SAID THIS TO SOMEONE !! Now I have proof ... he's an asshole too

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. Yep. More phony "bi-partisan" bullshit.

[Kaleva]

13. As senior Justice in the dissent, he may have assigned Sotomayor to write the dissenting opinion

"The most senior justice in the dissent can assign a dissenting Justice to write the dissenting opinion."

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. But wouldn't he have signed onto it,

or written a separate dissent if he were dissenting for different reasons?

Obviously I could be wrong, but it seems odd. That's why I suspect his motive.

[Kaleva]

20. Just saying that as senior dissenting Justice he could have assigned Sotomayor to write the dissent

[Skittles]

14. he has lost control of the SC

he is worthless

[DemocraticPatriot]

18. At least he voted not to throw out Obamacare.

That isn't a small thing...

[ripcord]

21. I guess I'm not understanding the problem here

All four Justices who didn't support this ruling wrote their own dissents, Sotomayor, Kagan, Stevens and Roberts.
