If the issue is lack of congressional approval, why hasn't Trump attempted to get a resolution passed? There is enough of a majority in both chambers to get it passed. I can't imagine any Republican being against it, unless it's just out of spite. If they are, put their asses on record.

Pass the resolution, and be done with this shite.

It was more of a gutjob restoration than a simple “redecoration“ to her own liking. It's not like she just picked some different curtains.

Roberts has been wholly compromised. Bought. Blackmailed.

Lots of respectable folks been hit by trains.

Lots of dining and dancing in the White House since it was built, just nothing this expensive or gaudy. Lots of gaudy gold is the hallmark of Monarchies, not Democracies.

Well, he is owned by the globalist after the Kenyan put a billion dollars in his Vatican bank account for that Obamacare vote.

Big work was done post WWII - and that was a gut job, when finished it kept an exterior and architecture compatible.

What DJT wants is something more akin to the French royals and their palace. Marie Antionette lost her head when it was all finished.

Roberts is a compromised, Deep State swamp creature. Always has been.

Your idea of dependable from a justice is “let president do whatever he wants irrespective of constitutional authority” is interesting imo

You are not supposed to be able to depend on him. SCOTUS isn’t a legislative body; it’s a court. They should vote the way they believe precedent and the constitution dictate, and there are a lot of grey areas to that.

Media should never again report Roberts voted with the liberal wing as if that's news. He is the liberal wing.


Roberts has voted 15 times with a five vote conservative majority. He is a conservative judge that the left would dearly like to replace.

quote:

Three particularly important examples 1. Shelby County v. Holder (2013) may be the clearest example of Roberts leading the conservative bloc. Roberts wrote the 5–4 opinion invalidating the statutory formula determining which jurisdictions needed federal preclearance before changing voting laws. The underlying nationwide prohibition on racial discrimination in voting remained intact.

2. Citizens United (2010) was another major 5–4 ideological decision. Roberts joined Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas and Alito. The four more liberal justices dissented from the central holding. Roberts also wrote separately defending the Court’s treatment of precedent. The Supreme Court’s case record identifies Kennedy as the opinion author and Roberts as a concurring justice.

3. Janus (2018) is especially interesting because it required overruling Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, a 1977 precedent. Roberts joined the 5–4 majority holding that compelling public employees to pay agency fees to a union violated the First Amendment.
