Paul Waldman at The Washington Post says that Chief Justice John Roberts’ pro-abortion ruling in June Medical Services v. Russo at the Supreme Court this week may have saved Republicans 2020 election prospects, by muting pro-choice critics and damping their support for an uninspiring candidate named Joe Biden. Is Roberts a political animal, lying in wait for the SCOTUS case that can really take down Roe v. Wade?

In every institution there are two types of people. Those dedicated to the goals of the institution. And those dedicated to the institution. The latter will invariably take over the the institution. Roberts is a member of the latter.
Scott: I’m sorry, but I’m disappointed that you can understand Chief Justice Robert’s reasoning of stare decisis. Using that logic, the Dred Scott case should still be the law of the land. It was a valid Supreme Court decision, therefore it must be revered for all time?
No. A bad decision is a bad decision. Personally, I think that the Supreme Court should not have “respected jurists” on it. It should have normal, every-day people with common sense. Then, maybe the Supreme Court wouldn’t go through the twisted logic that a penalty is a tax, even though the people who wrote the bill said it was a penalty. Roberts basically called the Democrats and President Obama liars.
So Scott, he would do so IF it follows his view of proper procedure, ethics, and tradition of the SCOTUS. Sounds like we are totally screwed and the Big Beluga will go swimming on.
Any power gained by the blood of innocent children is too costly. If it were true, the man is a reprobate.
Any man that looks abortion in the eye and sees the dangers to the mother and (obviously) to the child, only to sustain the bloodthirsty status quo is a reprobate.
I fail to see how Roberts is anything more than a spineless, gutless, thoughtless cheer chaser. Let his legacy be written in the numbers of “aborted” human lives that will not be attenuated by a simple law that requires admitting privileges to those conducting a traumatic procedure. Let history find him guilty of the damage done by his incessant cowardice.
You can’t get Pavarotti from an alley cat. Don’t expect justice from a sniveling coward.
John Roberts – Super Genius. Yea, not buying it.
He gets his supplies from ACME just like Wile E and they go off in our face.
Roberts is a political Camellian. He takes the coloration of what ever position that has the least resistance to the MSM and the Deep State. This is even worse than being a Spelunker Republican. It is a vicious denial of any principle that sustains the American Experiment of Freedom.
You are so right! Thanks for your comment.
I think he is more like one of Jeff Dunham’s discarded puppets. He takes he cue from whomever has their hand shoved up his backside at the moment.
Your metaphor is equally valid.
