Does anyone "actually" believe this?

More to the point, does anyone expect us to believe that the Chief Justice of the USSC doesn't understand that Republicans and Democrats nominate very different Judges?  Making this sort of statement is an insult to the collective intelligence of the United States citizenship. 


My bad... I suppose certain people actually might believe this and might spend a bunch of time repeating it all over the place like it means something tangible. But you cannot fix stupid.

Leave it to a Trump sucker to call the Chief Justice stupid.

He was appointed by George W Bush. So by your insane logic that he said that right thing because he was appointed by a Republican.

But your Trumpism has blinded you.

The judges swore to protect and defend the Constitution.

Not Donald J Trump

You are the stupid person.

b. January 27, 1955, Buffalo, NY

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
(2005-present)

The son of an executive with Bethlehem Steel, John Glover Roberts was raised in Long Beach, Indiana, and attended a Catholic boarding school in LaPorte, Indiana, graduating first in his class. He went to Harvard College, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1976 with a major in history. He then attended Harvard Law School, where he was managing editor of the HARVARD LAW REVIEW. He graduated magna cum laude in 1979 and spent one year clerking for a circuit court judge before being chosen to clerk for Chief Justice William Rehnquist in 1980-1981. He worked for a year at the Department of Justice as a special assistant to the attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, then served as associate counsel to the president from 1982 to 1986.

Roberts left public service in 1986 to enter private practice with a law firm in Washington but accepted an appointment as deputy solicitor general in 1989, when George H. W. Bush became president. He served in that capacity through 1993, during which time he won 25 of the 39 cases he argued before the Supreme Court on behalf of the government. Roberts returned to private practice and was an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown University.

President George W. Bush nominated Roberts to the D.C. Court of Appeals in 2001, but the nomination was one of many that did not make it out of the Democratically controlled Judiciary Committee. In 2003 he was again nominated by President Bush to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and was approved by the Republican-controlled Senate. In 2005 Roberts was nominated to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, who was retiring from the Supreme Court. When Chief Justice Rehnquist died two weeks later, President Bush nominated him as chief justice instead. The Senate confirmed him by a 78-22 vote, a narrow margin given the tradition of bipartisanship in Senate Supreme Court nominations. At age 50, Roberts became the youngest chief justice since John Marshall joined the Court in 1801.

Smart people can still say stupid things.

And if the judiciary is so independently neutral, we would not have had the kavanaugh confirmation circus that dems put the country through. Everyone knows the ninth circuit is ultra liberal.

The 9th is what Mr. Rogers believes is a defender of the US Constitution. It is the single most unconstitutional court at that level in the USA. So says the US Supreme Court.

Under the liberals standard that appointments by which ever President don't matter because that all are of ONE mind is nonsense.

IF, they really believe ALL Judges rule the same, are blind to politics see the US Constitution the same, then why fight against Trump judges.

So far your fight is 0-2.

But under your standard, let's call it the "Robert's Standard" , you will be supporting the Trump Pick when replacing Ginsburg.

It was an extraordinary statement by the Chief Justice on the day before thanksgiving. How could he not know the firestorm it was going to create.

Especially when he held his tough as Barack Obama directly attacked the court over the Citizens United decision.

Tongue. Gee I hate auto-correct.

Obama not only attacked the court. He ignored the rulings of the USSC.
You know, the pen thingy.

The DACA executive order, the many times the court found Obama to be unconstitutional.

Legal Immigrants food stamp usage drops 10%.
"Researchers say foreign-born women with children in the U.S. are taking “extreme caution” before enrolling on food stamps due to a new plan by the Trump administration that is expected to be implemented within the next year."

precisely, and this little factoid is lost on the alky and his ilk.

if the court is not political, then why, starting with robert bork, does the appointment of a new justice, especially a conservative one, take on the aura of a fucking WWE cage death match?

why does ruth buzzi ginsburg get away with publicly expressing her disdain for trump?

roberts said what he said because that's what he's SUPPOSED to say.

geezus people, this ain't fucking rocket science. and we sure as fuck don't need an alky-lanche of copy/pastes to understand it either.
