Roberts has already surprised me a time or two soldierant Nov 2019 #67

About 50 appellate judges. McConnell brags about it. It's his legacy. JudyM Nov 2019 #60

It means nothing when SCOTUS is the final word budkin Nov 2019 #6

We don't know that jberryhill Nov 2019 #7

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh owe him everything budkin Nov 2019 #8

JusticeBeer Bong Weinie Waver....it can not be posted enough. Farmer-Rick Nov 2019 #55

"...and whoever paid his debts off." kag Nov 2019 #65

And of course DENVERPOPS Nov 2019 #56

One of the first things that needs to be done after we win in November 2020 is to amywalk Dec 2019 #78

Every DENVERPOPS Dec 2019 #79

And they have a legacy that will live for hundreds of years SCantiGOP Nov 2019 #9

"Kavanaugh shares Roberts' concerns about the importance of the court's reputation" lagomorph777 Nov 2019 #61

Here's the thing about that jberryhill Nov 2019 #23

imo its much more simple than that. the view that some ppl , by pedigree and genetics are to lead Kurt V. Nov 2019 #29

You think that either of them thinks Trump is their "superior"? jberryhill Nov 2019 #30

no way. lol. but he is a billionaire with judge sister and an MIT uncle. all to be considered by Kurt V. Nov 2019 #33

Judges tend to be very protective of their constitutional importance The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #35

That is only ONE cute trick they pull DENVERPOPS Nov 2019 #57

Actually, they don't. They are traditional conservatives and Constitutional originalists. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #32

Nope. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #38

Not necessarily. Remember that John Roberts was the swing vote that saved the ACA. catbyte Nov 2019 #41

Here. ACA was his one true swing vote, out of the total of 5 liberal votes in his 800 ruling record. ancianita Nov 2019 #44

William Rehnquist was actually worse than anyone on the Supreme Court now, The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #37

Perhaps. I don't know his record. He was totally against corporate personhood, however. ancianita Nov 2019 #42

Not exactly. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #45

True. He at least had some understanding of who the Constitution was written for. ancianita Nov 2019 #48

Hope so. warmfeet Nov 2019 #21

The Supreme Court stayed Trump's tax release case OliverQ Nov 2019 #59
