A Traitorous Defection 

The Supreme Court of the United States announced today that it has upheld Obamacare in its entirety by a vote of 5 to 4.  The shocking defection of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to the liberal side of the bench provided the necessary vote that tipped the balance in favor of socialized medicine.  Unless November brings a major change in Washington, Roberts, who was appointed to the court as a conservative by President George Bush in 2005, may be responsible for changing the course of U.S. history…a dubious distinction, indeed! 

The New ‘Earl Warren’  

The defection of Roberts is reminiscent of the liberal transformation of another Supreme Court Chief Justice, former California Governor Earl Warren, who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953.  Instead of upholding the constitutional principles that made our country great, Warren ended up playing a major role in leading us down the path to liberalism during his nearly 16 year tenure as Chief Justice. Warren is now considered a pariah among constitutional conservatives. 

Is He Competent to Serve? 

It is difficult to understand how Roberts could not think his way into joining the three conservative justices and even swing voter Anthony Kennedy in upholding the Constitution of the United States.  Instead, he followed the lead of radical liberals Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayer and Elena Kagan!  It is interesting to note that Roberts has suffered at least two seizures (a neurologic condition affecting the brain) during his lifetime and sustained injuries from a fall after one.  While we don’t necessarily agree, some are now suggesting that this medical history along with his unexplainable vote on Obamacare call into question his competence to serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.  It would not be surprising if we soon hear calls to impeach Chief Justice John Roberts.
