Sorry, your honor, but it's a little late to be peddling that horse s**t

Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked President Trump, who, in a show of frustration at the routine trampling of executive authority by left-leaning justices, referred to one of Obama's black-robed henchman as an "Obama judge". You see, we don't have "Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.” Just a bunch of non-partisan, ideology-free professionals, interpreting the law with transparent and inarguable fairness.

That's pretty rich, coming from Chief White Feather, who infamously changed his opinion on an important challenge to Obama Care in the face of a well-orchestrated campaign in the media led by Obama, himself. Ultimately, Roberts wound up treating a major flaw in the language of the law, which should have sunk Obama Care, as a mere scrivener's error, of no consequence whatsoever.

Leftists have been using friendly courts for decades to get the results they can't get through free elections, so Roberts is being either naive or dishonest. And, given his craven performance on the Obama Care issue, I'd say that Roberts' opinion on the matter of judicial non-partisanship, to borrow a line from the late Justice Holmes, is "a purely municipal idea, of no validity outside the jurisdiction".

Well, if that were true, wouldn't every decision the Supreme Court makes be unanimous? I'm sure Roberts thinks he's standing up for his fellow judges, but to me these statements just make me question his intelligence.

It's odd, too, that so many people were terrified at the thought of Trump nominating Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, isn't it. If there are no Obama judges, or Clinton judges, or Bush judges, why were they so afraid of Kavanaugh?

I find it revealing that when directly called out by Obama at a SOTU address, Roberts simply squirmed and kept his mouth shut.

And yet he has no qualms about openly arguing with Literally Worse Than Hitler. There's one tough guy, for sure, not afraid to risk going to the camps.
