Cowardly Call

As of Thursday, July 5, 2012

We have to remember the Supreme Court members are also social beings. No doubt, they like being respected and being liked. Roberts, or his wife, has been turned by the Washington elite to just go along with the prevailing stench of liberalism which invades every nook and cranny of that putrid city.

This doesn’t excuse the treachery Roberts pulled on us conservatives, who thought we had him solidly on our side. Think again.

If conservatism were a military organization, he’d have been tried for treason. In my house, the name “John Roberts” will always be associated with cowardice.

Here, he had a perfect opportunity to slow down the oppression of its citizenry, to push back the ongoing unconstitutional abuse of executive power, and he blew it, big time.

Oh pish posh. The conservatives and liberals alike scream until they are red or blue in the face about "judicial activism" and how it's corrupting or demoralizing our society. Roberts actually does something that isn't partisan and strictly interprets the constitution and he's a treasonous coward. Puh-lease. The ideal is that there shouldn't be any party bias on the court. And oh how you've screamed when it was. So I don't want to hear about how Roberts "betrayed" the right for doing the job the consitution demands him to do.

It's nothing new, that humans on the court will not necessarily strictly interpret the Constitution as they are supposed to.

One especially infamous example occurred in 1947 when the court first started coming up with attacks directed at maintaining the mythical need for a wall between church and state. The 1947 Everson v. Board of Education decision against state support of private schools was actually a thinly veiled attack at Catholics by Supreme Court Justice (and former KKK member) Hugo Black.
