    Even though the story sort of confirms what we’ve been thinking, I still am cautious with this as scotus doesn’t leak like the rest of government and reports from unnamed sources don’t pan out a lot.
    It is kind of hard to believe Roberts would go out and signal how he would rule before a case even got cert. I think this would actually Piss off the libs on the court as well.

    There's a lot of pressure on Roberts from the Left. They've got some serious shit on him, and are leaning heavily.

    If he was an honorable man, he'd resign.*

    Not many honorable men at that level of government, alas.



    *John Profumo, in the UK, was caught in a honey trap back in the 1960s. He resigned, and it's worth noting what he did with his lfe afterwards. An impressive and honorable man.

    "Honorable" men are downselected before any thought of any promotion.

    "John Roberts strikes again. Conservatives should be furious."

    Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has struck again. His decision on Friday to side with the court’s four liberal justices in denying a petition in an important religious liberty case has further inflamed social conservatives already angry with his votes this term on abortion and LGBTQ rights. The decision is not only politically contentious, however; it is dangerously wrong.

    More proof that John Roberts is a traitor and that the SCOTUS now has a liberal majority.

    Not just conservatives should be furious!

    This decision is in direct opposition to part of the 1A. It may be a part that most people on the left don't care about, but even so, this opens the door on the rest of the 1A and the others in the BoR.

    What does Roberts want his legacy to be?

    Ex-Supreme Court clerk backs Pence's harsh criticism of Chief Justice Roberts


    Vice President Mike Pence is "totally right" in his criticism of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts as the court is once again a paramount issue for voters going to the polls in November, author and former Supreme Court clerk Carrie Severino told "Fox & Friends" Friday.

    Pence tore into Roberts, calling him a "disappointment to conservatives," during a discussion with Christian broadcaster CBN News on Thursday. His comments came in the wake of several cases in which Roberts, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, sided with the court's liberals in majority opinions.

    Here is the reason. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/18-824

    It has been more than a decade since this Court’s decisions in McDonald v. Chicago, supra, and District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570 (2008). In the years since those decisions, lower courts have struggled to determine the proper approach for analyzing Second Amendment challenges.

     Although our decision in Heller did not provide a precise standard for evaluating all Second Amendment claims, it did provide a general framework to guide lower courts. In Heller, we recognized that “the Second Amendment . . . codified a pre-existing right.” Id., at 592. This right was “enshrined with the scope [it was] understood to have when the people adopted” it. Id., at 634. To determine that scope, we analyzed the original meaning of the Second Amendment’s text as well as the historical understanding of the right. We noted that “limitation” on the right may be supported by “historical tradition,” but we declined to “undertake an exhaustive historical analysis . . . of the full scope of the Second Amendment.” Id., at 626–627. Instead, we indicated that courts could conduct historical analyses for restrictions in the future as challenges arose. Id., at 635.
