Roberts: Kavanaugh Joining Court Is Like Having A New In-Law At Thanksgiving

Source: The Hill

Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday that having a new member of the Supreme Court is making the other justices bring on their A game, according to a Tuesday Politico report.

“It is like having a new in-law at Thanksgiving dinner,” Roberts joked during an appearance at the University of Minnesota. “Uncle Fred will put on a clean shirt.”


He also went to great lengths to emphasize the independence of the court, despite the political brawl that preceded Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

“The story of the Supreme Court would be very different without that kind of independence,” he said. “Without independence, there is no Brown v. Board of Education.”

“We do not serve one party or one interest, but we serve one nation,” he continued. “I want to assure all of you that we will continue to do that to the best of our abilities, whether times are calm or contentious.”

cases from the 1940's and the 1950's. How about citing Bush v Gore of Citizens United. This is the federalist society court. A perverted group of white privilege male dominated assholes.

He'll rail on and on about how the libtards are destroying the country, and Trump is a demi-god, or even the Second Coming of Christ. And no matter how much everyone tries to ignore him, he just won't shut the f*** up!

He doesn't give a shit about his legacy any more than Scalia, Thomas or any of those other hacks did.
They are there to pervert the Constitution to say whatever they need it to say at the moment to satisfy their mob connections.
Oh how I wish for a Democratic president who would have the backbone to throw Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh off the bench onto their sorry asses and deny them any pension or federal job forever.

Yeah, like the former jock in-law who drinks too much and starts making inappropriate salacious comments about the football game cheerleaders on TV...who gets worked up into a rage when he's called out for it, shouting "Hey!! I LIKE BEER, OK?!!".

married to. She listened to Dr. Brown's testimony and she knew that she wasn't making that stuff up. She also knows that her husband has a drinking problem and he probably beats her a$$ when he's had too much beer. Something tells me that the last chapter of this story hasn't been written yet. Whenever you have to tell the whole world how often you pray, about what, and what your children said in their prayers last night, you're trying too hard.
