Justice Roberts, Media Whore

Now we know that Justice Roberts sold our Republic out in order to 'protect the reputation of the Court'.

From Beltway Confidential:
Chief Justice John Roberts voted against Obamacare, but then — in a move that angered his conservative colleagues — switched his vote as he became convinced that a 5-4 ruling against the law would damage the reputation of the Supreme Court.

Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy went through weeks of debate with each other, as Kennedy tried to convince Roberts to strike down the law and Roberts wrangled with Kennedy to create a 6-3 majority in support of the bill, “two sources with specific knowledge of the deliberations,” told CBS News.

This is shocking. Truly shocking.

Rather than execute his sworn duty to uphold and defend the Constitution, he upheld Obamacare because he was worried that the liberal media would say bad things about him.

This is beyond shocking.

This is grounds for impeachment.

The venial stupidity of the ruling damages the Court far more than any rational ruling would, no matter how unpopular the decision.

Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life precisely so that they do not have to curry favor with the public or the media.  The fact that he worries about his reputation in the media so much that he places it above the welfare of the nation and the rule of law is unconscionable. .

It is unthinkable that a Justice would change his mind on a matter of such incredible importance for such a trivial and banal reason.

Justice Roberts is a media whore, unfit to serve on the Supreme Court.
