Justice Roberts: I Am A Coward

Quote from CaptainObvious:

I have heard and read that he seems to be concerned about rulings that seem too partisan. He shouldn't give a flyin' fuck what the rulings "appear" to be, or what the talking heads will say. What the rulings of the court do to the political landscape should be of no concern to the court. Obviously the SCOTUS has been corrupted by their own political bias. Worse than that, they want to be liked.

Directly contrary to what Roberts said during confirmation. Are you sure you want to hang your hat on this premise?

People say lot's of things at a job interview just to get the job. It's actual performance on the job that counts.

Seems to me no different than any recent POTUS. Get elected from the left or right....govern from the center.

Please- setting a precedent to tax any American based on non activity is not governing from the center.

you are causing a lot of Cognitive dissonance among the righties this morning. good work.

Cognitive dissonance is a discomfort caused by holding conflicting cognitions (e.g., ideas, beliefs, values, emotional reactions) simultaneously. In a state of dissonance, people may feel surprise, dread, guilt, anger, or embarrassment.[1] The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system, or alternatively by reducing the importance of any one of the dissonant elements

Indeed, if I recall correctly, Bush picked Roberts because he was young, and he wanted someone as conservative as ANTONIN SCALIA.

Now, the righties seem to have forgotten that, so Bush must really be the idiot that some made him out to be.

Obama picked Sotomayor, and guess what? She voted with her guy:D

I must thank you for demonstrating in your own small way just how far right the GOP has gone.

Little does your black ass know just what sort of slavery you're cheering on.

Ignorance is bliss, and freedom!
