Chief Justice John Roberts Once Again Shows He's a Spineless, Authoritarian Coward
By Bonchie | Apr 10, 2021 9:30 AM ET
I regret to inform you that Chief Justice John Roberts is doing John Roberts things again. The once-proclaimed “conservative†judge, who was appointed by George W. Bush, has become a mainstay of the liberal wing of the Supreme Court, although the media will still describe him as “joining†them as if he doesn’t have permanent residence there.
Roberts ostensibly claims to be protecting the court’s reputation and limiting its impact. In reality, he’s just a spineless weasel who doesn’t want to be held accountable for what a correct ruling might mean. The court does not exist to have its reputation protected. It exists to uphold the Constitution, something Roberts should probably become more acquainted with.
In another show of authoritarian cowardice, Roberts voted with Justices Kagan, Breyer, and Sotomayer by dissenting in a 5-4 ruling that struck down California’s ban on in-house prayer. Yes, a state had actually banned people gathering to pray.

At what point should reporters stop saying "Chief Justice Roberts joined the court's three liberals" and simply start saying "the court's four liberals?"
