So did Roberts rebuke one of his own, RBG, when she went rogue with her criticism of Trump the candidate?
Something about a shoe and the other foot here.

quote:

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts offered a rebuke on Wednesday to President Trump's description of a judge who ruled against Trump's new migrant asylum policy as an "Obama judge."

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a Wednesday statement provided to Fox News. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them."


Roberts added: “That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

This would be so easy to rebut. Simply by analyzing the voting patterns of his own court

They haven’t been “independent” for a generation ... the Dems have been manipulating the judiciary and almost no one noticed.

Thanks gwb


Remember when leftists called gwb a far right conservative?

Remember when they ridiculed Roberts for the same, including ridiculing the way his kids looked at his introduction?

I do

He should have rebuked Trump and RBG, even though looking at it, Trump is right, but Roberts has to play it that way.

Yet I didn't see anything by him publicly rebuking Ginsberg for her opinion of Trump. Maybe I missed it? If he is going to play fair then be fair with his criticism of both.

We have blackmailed judges and non blackmailed judges.

frick Roberts.

I will dance more when he's off the bench than Ginsburg.

Ginsburg has always been honest about who she is.

Roberts lied his fricking arse off.

He is such a disappointment. The IC must have gotten to him for him to cave on Obamacare in the contorted way he decided the case.

Not since the Dems destroyed the reputation on Robert Bork on national TV has the judiciary been the same.

Roberts is a huge disappointment and deep stater. Of course one would expect nothing less from a new world order bush back stabber.

Roberts doesn't have to play it at all. He could keep his trap shut.

Justice Roberts:

Theres something to it when people hear a facially stupid ruling and can guess the President that nomnated said judge with about 95% accuracy.

Trump's election is almost three years old also. Guess what, it's been discussed every day since.

That's the problem, Justice Roberts. We DON'T have an independent judiciary when it comes to Obama appointees.

Roberts is a fool and hypocrite who is second only to Sessions in terms of performance in office versus expectations.......he has already violated his principles in several critical rulings from Obamacare on

When he speaks out on the FISA fraud we shall see whether he has any principle left

Right now he looks like a naive fool trying to massage public opinion re the courts when everyone knows there are indeed "Obama Judges" and Republican judges

The man is one big mistake
