I had more respect for Roberts before the Court added 3 more Conservatives. He seemed more of a centrist back then. Alito and Thomas are in the forefront now.

Behind the bland exterior and anodyne name is a truly evil man. He built this plutocracy starting with Citizens United.

IтАЩm not sure he is evil. HeтАЩs no fan of voting rights, and that bothers me. I hear what you say about Citizens United, although I thought Anthony Kennedy wrote that decision. Roberts was in the majority.

Based on his actions and inaction, he is either stunningly ignorant or deeply evil. I seriously doubt heтАЩs dumb, so IтАЩm leaning towards evil.

Clearly ethically bankrupt and cowardly, and most likely, deeply evil (and in the end, traitorous due to undermining the Constitution and founding documents of the country (while claiming тАЬOriginalismтАЭ).

Scumwad pretty well sums it up.

IтАЩm not happy with the immunity decision. They disregarded the Constitution.

My problem with Roberts is that heтАЩs a poor leader. A better Chief could have privately leaned on Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves on that case. A better Chief would have testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and not hide behind тАЬseparation of powers тАЬ.
