Roberts refers judicial misconduct complaints against Kavanaugh to federal appeals court in Colorado
The Washington Post, Oct 10, 2018, Ann E. Marimow and Tom Hamburger

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Wednesday referred more than a dozen judicial misconduct complaints filed recently against Brett M. Kavanaugh to a federal appeals court in Colorado.

The 15 complaints, related to statements Kavanaugh made during his Senate confirmation hearings, were initially filed with the federal appeals court in Washington, where Kavanaugh served for the last 12 years before his confirmation Saturday to the Supreme Court.

The allegations center on whether Kavanaugh was dishonest and lacked judicial temperament during his Senate testimony, according to people familiar with the matter.

Last month, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit asked Roberts to refer the complaints to another appeals court for review after determining that they should not be handled by judges who served with Kavanaugh on the D.C. appellate court.

In a letter Wednesday to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, Roberts said he selected the court in Colorado to “accept the transfer and to exercise the powers of a judicial council with respect to the identified complaints and any pending or new complaints relating to the same subject matter.”

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't get it.  Why would Roberts refer these phony complaints at all.  Surely he watched the hearings and knows that Brett did nothing at all wrong, and, in fact, he was wronged himself.

I guess some people had forgotten how Roberts swooped in and rescued the Democrats to make ObamaCare "legal"????

This just fits more of the same proclivity.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

No, Roberts' actions, not the leftists.  They are pretty transparent as you point out.

Oh, I haven't forgotten.  Roberts was a huge disappointment and I will never really trust him.

After Roberts unconstitutionally rewrote the ACA's "penalty provisions" to make them "taxes"--something not only the authors had insisted they were NOT, but which clauses originated in the Senate and not the House as revenue measures are Constitutionally required, regardless of where he rules on other topics, he has already demonstrated  significant leftist proclivities, for whatever reason.
