Terrible decision, to be honest.


Why?

I work in a relatively dangerous (statistically) field that requires some amount of trust in the guy next to you. I dont want to be forced to put that trust into somebody who has cut off their own genitals. Such an act is cause for termination or to not hire someone in the first place, it is not merely a "personal choice" but an alarming window into one's character and mental well being.

In practice I know its very unlikely they'll be hired into my field and I'll be forced to work with them, but I still dont like there being a legal precedent that protects them should it happen.


Don’t be such a pussy.

John Roberts will go down in history as one of the best if not best Chief Justice's of the Supreme Court.

He does his job which and doesn't play politics.

He's one shining light in DC.

He's a big disappointment. If he fails on Roe V. Wade, they probably should forever end any vetting on Supreme Court Justices. Too many of the dickhead lie about their judicial record in order to get the job. Roberts did it in spades.

so supreme court justices should bring in their political bias into their decisions? not suppose to.

In an age of political divide, he has been the one person in Washington that stays fair and unbiased.

Would you define "fail" for us please Hawk?

What do you think about the baseball season possibly not happening?

That is your opinion not mine. You call him fair and unbiased. I think that he pretty much lied about his judicial philosophy. You like some of his rulings so you think that he is fair and unbiased. I think that he has left what used to be called a constitutionalist bent quite early after reaching the bench. In other words, HE LIED.

No love for John Roberts in all of this?

Sure Gorsuch wrote the opinion, but it was joined by all of the more liberal justices on the court, Roberts assigned the opinion to Gorsuch.

So not only did Roberts vote in a way to provide much needed legal protections to American citizens, but he was savvy enough to foresee that Gorsuch held a position that would likely lead to an opinion that could be supported by all of the more liberal justices.

I truly hope that Roberts has a long tenure as Chief Justice. He's the type of guy you want with with his hand on the tiller during a period when the other two branches of government seem to be self destructing in real time.


Roberts is single-handedly trying to keep the US Government from self destructing. He's likely going to go down as one of the most important/influential figures in the early 21st century, if not the whole 21st century. If not the history of the Republic.

Maybe The Hawk can come talk to us about how Drinky McJustice who was such a slave to "precedent" in his confirmation hearing did on this one.
