John Roberts Continues To Self-Identify
BY Herschel SmithEven more and more with each passing day, he shows his true colors. What terrible judgment by GWB to nominate him.
WASHINGTON — The chief justice of the United States, John Roberts, warned Friday that the Supreme Court risks losing its own authority if it allows the existence of a law like Texas’ near-total abortion ban, which attempts to circumvent the courts.
In a strongly worded opinion joined by the high court’s three liberal justices, Roberts wrote that the “clear purpose and actual effect” of the Texas law was “to nullify this Court’s rulings.” That, he said, undermines the Constitution and the fundamental role of the Supreme Court and the court system as a whole.
The opinion was a remarkable plea by the chief justice to his colleagues on the court to resist the efforts by right-wing lawmakers to get around court decisions they dislike, in this case Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that made abortion legal in the United States, within limits. But in this case, his urgent request was largely ignored by the other justices on the court who were appointed by Republicans.
His point to them was that the court system should decide what the law is, and it should resist efforts like that of the Texas Legislature to get around the courts by limiting the ability of abortion providers to sue.
It is a basic principle, he wrote, “that the Constitution is the ‘fundamental and paramount law of the nation,’ and ‘[i]t is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.'” He cited as proof the landmark 1803 Marbury v. Madison case, which established the principle of judicial review, allowing the court to nullify laws that violate the Constitution.
“If the legislatures of the several states may, at will, annul the judgments of the courts of the United States, and destroy the rights acquired under those judgments, the Constitution itself becomes a solemn mockery,” he said, quoting the 1809 U.S. v. Peters case, which found that state legislatures can’t overrule federal courts.
He can’t get another vote to side with him and the rest of the communists on the court.
Funny, that statement I bolded. I learned in Civics class in elementary school that the Congress made laws rather than the judiciary. I guess he went to a different civics class than I did.
I can assure him, however, that the constitution is no solemn mockery. I would say though, with the majority of U.S. citizens, that the SCOTUS had become an unsolemn mockery, a gaggle of court jesters rather than court officers.
Imagine. All of this over the right to murder the unborn. Worship of Molech indeed. God judges the nation.
Roberts is immoral. The immoral can’t be relied upon to render moral judgements. I suspect GWB knew exactly what he was doing in selecting Roberts. GWB is also an immoral man.
I remember shopping at the book/music store and overhearing the ACA decision announced on another shopper’s phone, you could hear some groans and then dirty looks from the liberal clerks, SCOTUS is just as sold out and in on it as the rest of the swamp.
We are on our own is just up above don’t tread on me for the flag of the New Republic.
Still laughing at the Grand Old Politburo true believers saying well he revealed that it was a tax when that is how he saved it.
I used to respect him.
Please note
That is a statement
And
It’s past tense.
Did John Roberts ride the “Lolita Express” (that being the nickname of his private jet taking friends and associates to his island-hideaway) to the late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s private playground?
Epstein and friends had been preying upon kidnapped boys and girls for years. Only Epstein’s status as a well-connect billionaire saved him from hard time back in the mid-2000s when he was charged and convicted of a number of sex crimes. But those charges were only the tip of a very ugly and evil iceberg. There is a great deal more which remains hidden, which is one reason why the powers-that-be went to such great lengths to arrange Epstein’s alleged “suicide,” a.k.a. murder conducted so as to look like a suicide. Dead men tell no tales and so forth.
Epstein and company were alleged to have kidnapped young women, girls and boys, used and abused them for sexual and other purposes, and then disposed of them – meaning kill them and get rid of their bodies in such a way as to prevent them from being found. Epstein’s operation was identified only because a number of would-be victims escaped and lived to tell their tale to the authorities.
Now the rich-and-powerful caught in Epstein’s net are again sweating in fear, due to the captivity of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s sometime-paramour and fixer. Her little black book and Rolodex contain the names of some very famous people.
And seeing the fate of her late companion, she has already said she’s prepared to sing like a bird in order to remain living and above ground.
There is considerable speculation and evidence that Epstein’s operation was an elaborately-constructed “honey trap” – that is what such ruses are called in the intelligence-espionage world – designed to ensnare as many influential, wealthy and connected people as possible. Once trapped, most would do anything to avoid exposure, implication and criminal charges. That’s how a classic blackmail operation works.
Operation mounted by whom? That’s an open question: Plenty of people had the means and the motive, and there are a lot of governments, organizations and people who want to influence the U.S. federal government in a variety of ways, from the communist Chinese to the Israelis to the Arabs and goodness knows who else. It could even be an op staged by deep-state black ops assets right here on U.S. soil.
Why is Roberts a suspect? His behavior – both inside the court and elsewhere – has been very strange, according to reports. And speaking personally, I will never forget that “deer in the headlights” look on Robert’s face after his ruling on Obamacare. Naked fear and guilt in the man’s eyes.
From the acts and words of Roberts, it is clear that someone has something on him. What that is I don’t know. In cases like this, the “something” is usually some form of sexual depravity. On film of course. Roberts is also a member of the “black eye club”.
Democrat presidents always nominate hard-core leftists to the courts. Republican presidents only do it about 60% of the time.
“What terrible judgment by GWB to nominate him.”
Birds of a feather; GWB will, in time, not be regarded kindly by history.
“Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.” Proverbs 25:5 God does indeed judge the nation. This is something that’s seriously neglected in the American Church, this understanding of federal headship under God. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” Romans 5:12 Most Christians accept that sin entered into the world by Adam, and death thereby became a reality, so we are all sinners and, so, everyone has an appointment with death. (Hebrews 9:27) The federal headship of Adam isn’t the only or end of federal headship but the beginning. He is the head of all men because all men are descended from him. Don’t like it? Too bad. You’re a sinner and you’re going to die to face the Judgment of God for your sin. “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:11-12 There are numerous examples in the bible of a nation being judged for the wickedness of it’s leadership. But first, what of the federal headship of the man over his family? As was Adam, further, it’s right there under that very law against child murder: “And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: 5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.” Leviticus 20:1-5 God will put himself in opposition to your family (verse 5) for allowing the taking of innocent blood. When you allow sin to abound you are guilty too. This is the sin of omission, to allow or ignore sin. James puts it best: “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is… Read more »

Concerning the governments, Ehud Barak, while head of the Israeli Intelligence Service, by his own admission says he met with Jeffery Epstein ” more than 10 times but less than 100 times”. He says that these meetings were to discuss “investments”.
Those investments were probably the blackmail material he collected from Epstein and took back to Israel. Epstein and his little girlfriend Maxwell are/were obvious Mossad agents. Maxwell’s father was a documented Mossad Agent. Sorry to offend the Sean Hannity fans, concerning “Our Greatest Ally”.
Honey pots have been used by various governments for centuries. It was the practice to use adult women and then get them into compromising relationships with powerful men. Along about the time Bill Clinton came along that tactic no longer worked because no one cared about extra marital trysts anymore. So the blackmailers had to resort to underage girls and boys to get the compliance of their targets. Unfortunately for most and fortunately the blackmailers pedophiles in the governments are prolific.
Proverbs 19:9
@ m. fuah,
It should be obvious m. fuah, that the government of Israel is different than the people of Israel. Just as the government of the U.S. is different that the people of the U.S. at this point.
@ George I
Re: “It should be obvious m. fuah, that the government of Israel is different than the people of Israel. Just as the government of the U.S. is different that the people of the U.S. at this point.”
Yes, quite so. Governments, in particular rogue intelligence and black-ops agencies, literally get away with murder and all sorts of other mayhem that would horrify most people if they knew about it. We must not tar everyone with that particular brush.
In any human society, most people want to lead upstanding, good lives or at least want to be left alone and to leave others alone. It’s a small fraction of the people who make trouble for everyone else. Unfortunately, those kinds of people are drawn as if by a powerful magnet to the types of employment and careers that give them the opportunity to control and manipulate others. And cause all sorts of other kinds of mischief.
Must disagree george1 ; the israeLIES support their ‘government’ nearly 100%. Its in their genes. And georgiaboy61, you assume that all manner of ‘people’ are like you and I and our kin – they are most decidedly not.
And AMEN Fred, above.
@ Georgiaboy61
Those types of people make bargains with Satan IMHO. That is why they wind up in positions to do great harm to all.
Proverbs 19:9 is perfect application.
As the chief jurist, Roberts, by his falsehoods, deceptions, and conceits about the supreme law of the land, will indeed suffer great punishment. And if left unrepentant, Roberts will burn for eternity and then forevermore after that.
Having lost innocence in Adam, all men are biased only toward evil and sin. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
Roberts, as with any man, lacks the capacity for righteousness. All men fall toward sin as a dropped rock under gravity.
Only by the convicting Spirit of God in the heart of the believer, having been begotten again into the righteousness of the the Holy One of God by His blood can a man have choice to include a way for avoiding sin.
So blinded by sin is the mortal man outside of Christ, that all the day long he supposes himself to walk upright when in reality all he accomplishes is the heaping of burning coals upon his own head. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one” Romans 3:10
Roberts sin has earned him death. Death for all men abides outside the gift. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
@ luke2236 Re: “And georgiaboy61, you assume that all manner of ‘people’ are like you and I and our kin – they are most decidedly not.” With due respects, I have made no such assumption. Merely noted the application of Pareto’s Law to human affairs. Commonly known as the 80-20 rule. It is also verifiably a historical fact that mass movements of all kinds, whether we’re talking about Islam or cultural marxism, are driven and steered by a small cadre of “true believers,” fanatics who drag everyone else along in their wake. This phenomenon is also a manifestation of Pareto’s Law. I’ll give you this much: There are a lot of people who simply wish to go along to get along, not make waves, conform to others – whatever you wish to call it – these de facto herd animals can be led astray and into evil if they are not careful. They may be good people in a certain sense, or at least inoffensive and harmless in most ways, but they end up aiding and abetting evil because they do not critically examine the choices they are being asked to make. But – I still maintain that it is morally-wrong to tar an entire nation and people for malign actions of the few. Let me flip that on its head: Do you believe that the people of the United States, as a whole – all 330 million of us or whatever the present figure is – are evil? Or is it a subset – including the government and big-tech companies – which are doing wrong and committing acts of evil? This is a profound question, by the way, and one which has raged within the historical community virtually since the end of WWII, namely was the whole of Germany guilty of the crimes of the regime, or were some Germans more-guilty of the evils of that time than others? Clearly, the relatively small cadre – Pareto’s Law again – of fanatical Nazis (who, it is estimated, at the top level numbered only a few thousand people) could not have done what they did – without at least some degree of acquiescence and cooperation by the German people. But equally clearly, not every German was a Nazi. Resolving these types of questions was the task of the de-Nazification process after the war, including the Nuremberg Tribunals. Getting back to the question at hand, the checks-and-balances originally built into our (U.S.A.) society by the Founders were designed with the fallen and imperfect nature of man in mind. As Kant said of human nature, “From such crooked timber as humankind is made of nothing entirely straight can be made.” The very reason they designed the system they did was as an attempt to prevent or at least minimize the abuses of authority and power that inevitably come about when humans are involved. A man like John Roberts is able to do the wrong things he has done precisely because the checks against… Read more »
And priestly headship. “The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.” Psalm 110:4-6 The Lord Jesus is our High Priest, forever. As High Preist He proclaims judgments, accuses men and nations of sin, offers grace and mercy, and instructs men in righteousness. This is the pastoral model. David foresees the day of Christ’s reign beyond the cross by looking to the days of Abram under Melchizedek. Whether Melchizedek is Christ or a human type doesn’t affect the instruction in righteousness we are to understand. (The dispensationalists so called age of reason in the pre Mosaic Law time of Abraham isn’t a good understanding. There was never a time of reason. Men are completely without reason compelled by sin and depravity all the day long. Grace was God’s great gift, and has been. Grace in life, grace in salvation, grace in chastisement, grace in death. For even before the flood, Genesis 6:8 tells us “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” David and the writer of Hebrews both understood that the Law was only ever a temporary covenant with the Hebrew people because of its conditional nature. Set before them were blessings and cursings. No man could, nor can, keep the law. It was only a matter of time that the separate and distinct Mosaic conditional covenant with those specific people would end at the coming of Christ who did complete the Law. God, by His grace, allowed David to see that day that the elders, by faith, longed and hoped to have (Hebrews 11). The Law is canon however, and fit for instruction. Even the so called dispensation of grace is strange. I’m a gentile, I was never under the law. My people have always been at the mercy of God under the Noahic covenant (Genesis 9). To Abraham was given a promise, a covenant by faith, that was brought in by Christ’s resurrection, the promise of eternal life to all people, Jews and gentiles, that would believe.) So anyway, Christ as our High Preist, has set a model for pastoral leadership. Human Priestly headship also affects those under the Pastors charge. “Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. 14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, 15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall… Read more »
