John Roberts defies Trump and conservatives with another legacy decision

Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.

Chief Justice John Roberts saved Obamacare in 2012 -- a move forever earning him the wrath of many Republicans -- and on Thursday he preserved an Obama-era program that protects young immigrants who came to the US without proper papers, a direct rebuke to President Donald Trump. Both times, Roberts joined with the court's four liberals, as he did last year when he cast the crucial fifth vote to block a citizenship question on the 2020 census -- another insult to the President. "Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn't like me?" Trump tweeted.The conspicuous moves by a generally reliable conservative reveal a chief justice trying to defuse disputes that bring the nation's high court into tension with the US president.

JoanBiskupic Listen to Clarence Thomas decision, and tell me that he is qualified to be on that bench. Ugly as his position or decision. He better not go to Africa.

JoanBiskupic Like other hopeless Supreme Court judges who just stamped anything republican, we have a reasonable man here. God will uproot all the evil ones on that bench, including that useless Thomas.

JoanBiskupic John Roberts 👍 is American patriot, bravo John and thank you.

JoanBiskupic Nope. Not completely saved. I don’t have to pay a fine gir not having health insurance and...I don’t have to pay for welfare bums.

JoanBiskupic Chief Justice John Roberts has sold out or is being blackmailed. Now it’s just painfully obvious. He has been compromised. He’s a rat. Just like CNN. The swamp is long, dark and deep

JoanBiskupic Tragic Trump is pissed.

JoanBiskupic He didn’t defy Trump! He defied the Constitution and defied his oath of office!

JoanBiskupic What happens when the 'Pay Off' money dries up, then what Chief Justice John Roberts 'Benedict Arnold', maybe Military Court for Chief Justice?

JoanBiskupic His job is not to rebuke a president. That’s the problem here.

JoanBiskupic No, he is just respectful of the Law as he should be. He has dedicated his life to it b

JoanBiskupic He did not 'Defy' anyone. He made a ruling. You either Agree or Disagree.

JoanBiskupic John Roberts is a justice of high moral character, he follows precidence & the law, he never rule because of political alliance to any one party as he should, very respectable!
