. Pence noted the law required"doctors working in abortion clinics would have to have admitting privileges at local hospitals."
"That's a very modest restriction on abortion providers, but a narrow majority in the Supreme Court still said it was unacceptable," he said."And I think it's been, I think it's been a wake up call for pro-life voters around the country who understand, in a very real sense, the destiny of the Supreme Court is on the ballot in 2020.
Good on him. An independent thinker.
Really!!
Pence doesn’t think much of the rule of law, does he!
The GOP doesn’t want a fair judge. They want to lackey that will pass whatever disgusting legislation they want. Fuck you Pence!
So vp pence is saying that justice is us vs them not universal. That thought is the disease that plagues the world.
Because Mike (Putz) Pence is a traitor and sychophant to the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, Anus-in-Chief Donald T. Rump!
Just go by the law and leave politics out . I applaud his courage
Pence Roberts Is Not In Trumps Pocket!! He Is Is There To Serve The People!!!🤬
Thank you Roberts for standing up for what is right !
Big deal. Get over it wuss.
He is a servant of the law not any political party.
Translation: Christian Pence mad at Roberts because he is making decisions to make the world a better place for everyone, not just rich, white men.
Roberts is a fraud! He should step down now!
VP realDonaldTrump USSupremeCourt AGBillBarr VP Pence, have you ever heard of fair and impartial Justice? Look it up.
Beyond SHAMEFUL for VP to harass a Supreme Court justice whose job is to make decisions based on the law, not simply the whim and desire of either spectrum, the so-called conservative or liberal. The US is descending into chaos by the WH. SenateGOP TheDemocrats faznet
Pence somehow forgot the Justices of the Suoreme Court are not to be influenced by politics? Vote change November and place competence and integrity back in office
😳Justice Roberts is interpreting the Constitution. Pence says he is letting down the Republicans? Think about that for a moment. Justice Roberts is criticized for abiding by the oath that he took. Meanwhile, the Congressional Republicans fail to do so. Wow. 🤬
All the nerve a boot-licking pence he has let down Humanity
Pence... I am just going to say this...' Get a life and get over it'
VP Dense, as he is known in Indiana, is Agolf’s hand puppet.
I remember when Graham and the GOP complained about the Court should be non partisan. So what’s the problem ? Judges go by law and not what your party thinks
In all honesty, justices are supposed to vote for the law and our constitution; not conservative, liberal, Republican, or Democrat. It doesn't work that way, but it should.
Upheld the law?
Don’t blame The Chief Justice for doing his job, you keep forgetting Mr Veep he swore an oath to protect the Constitution NOT a political party or it’s philosophy. What’s wrong with you and “your “ people, does autocratic rule appeal to you. If it does move to Russia or Turkey!
How dare they make rulings based on established laws...
Bravo Chief Justice Roberts! And Thank you very much 👏👏👏
Pence is anti-American as the orange dickclown he serves. Take them both out back and introduce them the the gold plated wood chipper and sell the splatter to a worshipper for 10,000,000 DOLLARS!
Justice Roberts abides by judicial ethical principle. Pence has no dthics or moral. Pence is snother vlown like Trump.
Snowflake
Chief Justice Roberts is just that. A Chief Justice. Doing what the law requires, not what trump requires.
He is a turncoat - a lib in conservative clothing😂
Made George Bush proud, and that's all that really matters.
Yes - he is a turncoat !!
It’s called constitutional justice not personal loyalty
Conservative does not equal “law breakers and criminals” just because VP sold his soul to Trump doesn’t mean every conservative should piss on our constitution for them!!
He will be remembered as a man of honor and dignity. You will be remembered as a maggot enabler.
Oh, bc he showed that he might actually put people before profit? That makes sense, coming from the GOP.
I have just 3 words for Mike Pence:
Piss him off some more Mikey, please.
No one cares what Pence think. 🤷🏽♀️
Well boo fucking hoo.
He isn’t there for your anti-LGBTQ rhetoric or your personal gain. VP Pence is a simple yes man tool who wants trump in more ways than one.
Proof that VP is a moron and doesn’t understand the independence of this branch of government. Everyday I continue to shake my head in disbelief at how stupid our citizens and leaders have become.
Get over it lapdog. Justices need to be bi-partisan.
He means he’s let down those who want a church state
Court packers' remorse, eh?
There can’t be sides they’re elected for their independent thought. Someone should have a word with pencey.
So, once again VP & GOP believe the law is partisan & that Scotus should make decisions based on politics instead of the law. This is criminal thinking. GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Aren’t Justices about rule of law and non partisan? Just asking for a friend!
But Supreme Court justices aren’t supposed be political, right conservatives?
So VP (closeted bitch) is mad that the Chief Justice has opted to side with the actual law, rather than political views?
There are checks and balances that's supposed to keep the branches of government independent of each other.
Pence need to take a look at what it mean to be a Christian. Live the teaching of Christ and not do the devils work
No he’s not taking side he is going by his understanding of the law
Judges serve the people.
When conservatives are “let down” because the Chief Justice agrees with the obvious and logical interpretation of statutes and the Constitution, the problem is not with the Chief Justice.
Perhaps some of them do what is right regardless of their party affiliation
Pence and the republicans have just shown their cards on judicial manipulation!
Geez, that really sucks! The poor conservatives! I always thought that judges were supposed to be unbiased and follow the LAW
More right wing drivel
Shows exactly how political this so called non political branch of our Govt has become: Shameful and plain wrong.
I f did not know he was suppose to please one side
Pence has let down America....
HI VP Pence: There is a limit to even Hoosier hypocrisy. So long as CJ Roberts' rulings were going your way, he was your man ( and he still is most most of the times) but Roberts broke ranks with the Conservative cabal and hell broke loose.
Aw. Thoughts and prayers VP. Hard to understand democracy?
VP Pence is completely unqualified to be in his current position. Justices follow the law not any particular party or president. Was he born under a rock?
tRumpence is disappointment/embarrassment to the world. Just give it up and RESIGN! The country is so frustrated, angry and tired of the bs.
People,there are subjects more important than this, to be worried about in the country, right now!?!
Thats due to the HIPOCRACY JUSTICE ROBERTS sees in this WH ADMIN. THE CORRUPT LEADERSHIP in both TRUMP AND PENCE.
I am no great fan of Roberts, but Pence, even in his wildest imagination, can’t come close to Roberts intellect.
They are not supposed to be political.
Let the citizens and historians judge. We care not what VP Pence says at all.
He makes decisions based on facts & legal precedence instead of political affiliations? The audacity!
Waa waa waa 🎻. They're judges, not politicians in robes
With commun sense and reasoning
That’s why you can’t spell Conservative with “CONS”🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Mike_Pence must apologize. For attacking a chief justice. Use RGB as an example. She apologized for her opinion of the president. Stop trying to stack the odds for your party.
Umm maybe since he’s a judge he thinks he can vote how he wants too? 🤷♀️
The Constitution isn't party affiliated.. pass it on.
In other wrds, because he followed the law and did his job.
VP he doing his constitutional dutie asshole!
He is doing his job the way it should be done. He was doing what is right & fair to everyone, not just a political party.
Nothing says 'I'm a genitally mutilated, sexually frustrated American man' more than holding the viewpoint that u should be able to force some scared, young girl to bring what would become a human into this world against her will (MaleGenitalMutilation is wrong too. Not mocking)
Pence crossed the line. You DO NOT criticize the Chief Justice or any Justice for an unfavorable decision. Pence must have finished last in his law class. The robes Justices wear should not be political colors. Decisions should be based on law, not religion or politics.
Chief Roberts sided with logical and facts. VoteGOPOut VoteTrumpOut2020
So rare to find a spine in Washington. It must be very disorienting for douches like Mike Pants.
Uh....Mikey needs to learn how law works.
Pence’s ignorance is appalling. SCOTUS is not supposed to be political.
Thank God for Justice John Roberts for supporting women rights, LGBT rights, and others. The American people are very proud of you.
So,basically, Pence criticizes Roberts for not being political?
A “country of laws”? Not according to Pence. Pence and trump prove they see SCOTUS as a political tool.... nothing to do with law.
The courts purpose is to rule by law not to follow conservative or liberal principles
Hmmm, I always thought the Supreme Court looks and interprets the law - not siding with either party. How silly of me.
The Opinion of a slack jawed (the parade of Pence memes runs through my mind) far right zealot is pretty much worthless. Surprised Donny let him off his knees, long enough to talk.
I hope and pray all the Supreme Court justices will always do what is right. Hopefully they won’t be swayed by a particular person or group. Remember, you have the lives of the American justice system in your hands. Please, don’t take that lightly.
Judge Roberts, DO everything in your power to bring them down!!!
A Republi-KKKan’t appointed Roberts and now a Repubi-KKKan’t is whining about one of their decisions. I believe the only thing that will satisfy realDonaldTrump and VP is 100% unquestioned authority. AmericaOrTrump VoteTrumpOut
What he is indicating is Justice Roberts has swayed his decision before favoring Trump. I hope you are safe Judge Roberts the mafia has spoken
The SCOTUS isn't SUPPOSED to have justices with defined biases that is THE WHOLE POINT
jodotcom Is a judge's role to support a political ideology or to adjudicate cases based on the facts, the text of the law and jurisprudence? Or perhaps I am just very naïve.
Justice isn’t supposed to be politics.
VP Pence has let down Americans with his decisions
Go Roberts! Keep up the good work and ignore those criminals
Maybe just maybe he has some morals.....unlike most of the GOP and the White House!
Just maybe Roberts has some principles left. Something Pence never had.
I like you Judge Roberts
Basically he his disappointed that the Chief Justice is not corrupt.
So if you read between the lines, he expects party over country. Sad times for democracy.
Pence needs to read and comprehend the Constitution. The court Justices are supposed to be impartial and follow the Law not partisan politics. The reason Congress is so ineffective is partisan politics over the Law and over it’s citizens.
So doing the right thing for Americans is disappointing? Pence is a clown.
In other words “why isn’t Roberts lying with the rest of us GOP”.
His job is to uphold the constitution, not please conservatives.
The Supreme Court should vote based on issue not political party or labeled ideology.
Pence is arrogant and justifies his actions through “his” religious beliefs.
Is his job to side with you and play politics or to interpret the constitution ?
Welp. that’s not forward thinking to criticize ANYONE of the SCOTUS. Pretty synonymous with all of the policies of Trump/Pence. Come on Nov. 3rd.
So politics is supposed to supersede law. Hmmm....
BadLegalTakes not really sure if this counts, but SCOTUS is supposed to be apolitical. So maybe a bad legal/judiciary take?
He has a soul unlike pence
Now I have one more reason to dislike Pence. ✌️
well probably wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't pass off someone on both sides
I didn’t know his actual job description was to make conservatives happy...
Oh no! He didn’t leave his whole spine when he signed up?
FascistTrump, FascistPence, and FascistGOP are working hard to get rid of American Democracy and turn it into a Fascist country. They want to control the courts, abolish the FirstAmendment, and use VoterSuppression so that they can stay in power. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
He's a judge, not a party member
Pence - we all knew he didn’t really get it when he signed on to the ticket with this madman, Trump
Unlike Pence it is not Justice Roberts’ job to pander to conservatives - or anyone else for that matter. It’s his job to uphold the constitution. Wish Pence and Trump felt the same way.
actually Robert's has the balls, the courage to do the right thing and NOT side with 45 and boy pence when they are wrong, which by the way is ALL the time...
The Supreme Court is it’s own branch and should not be dictated. Thank goodness they went to school and studied well. It’s almost asking a surgeon how to do his/her job.
Someone didn’t get their way...
VP Pence is acting just like Pres. Trump. I respect Supreme Court Judge Roberts.; he knows that antiquated laws, bills and most American mindsets are ready for a change. Not to catering to one specific race , but equating rights and standards to all.
Pence has let down planet earth.
Supreme Court does not work for Trump and his enablers!!!!!
Sorry Pence, discrimination was not allowed. Let’s all talk about your so called Christian values.
That is BS. The court is not conservative or liberal...it's independent and beholden to no ideology...it's beholden to the United States Constitution. That kind of thinking is typical Trump...as in, the government is here to serve ME, Not Americans ☹
Agree with Trump or else That is not what the Supreme Court is supposed to be about. They pledge to uphold the Constitution, not ideology of one party VP
He let down rotten agendas of man made lies
Mike Pence is a disappointment to humanity
Oh boo hoo. Trump and Pence are such crybabies!
Hey Pence the Supreme Court judges should be bipartisan. You’re a foolish idiot like Trump, assuming these judges should be on your side no matter what. Not everyone can be expected to suck up to Trump like all of you Republicans. You have Barr at your beck & call for that
Chief Justice Roberts has proven that he has a mind of his own and that he cares about the rules of the law. I say cudos to you John Roberts
Court should be impartial and independent.
Too bad for Pence that the job is supposed to be apolitical. I think the Supreme Court should have responsibilities for nominating their own membership by unanimous vote. Remove political parties all together.
Maybe the 'conservatives' need to find another country to ruin.
Judges are supposed to set aside their politics.
.it will be a good day when KamalaHarris takes over the VP Twitter account.
Metaphorically, when it comes to SCOTUS picks, you pays your money and you takes your chances.
Or maybe because he makes some fair and just decisions? Oh, Spence, you don’t like him because of the anti-abortion situation in Louisiana? You don’t care for him because he is on the right side of the law and does not decide the way that you want him to?
Lolol he won't be VP forever and I hope he doesn't have to rely on Roberts for his freedom.
VP This is not about being in some Trump boys club. He is Not required to side with any President or VP.
Just remember. If Trump wins again chances are he will make another one of theses judges and take away all woman’s rights, even to work
Apparently Pence does not understand that the law is supposed to be non partisan. The “rule of law”. Not the rule of Republican whims.
The Supreme Court is not supposed to 'side' with any party or ideology, VP . Don't you understand the concept of independent branches of government and our system of checks and balances?
Did he say it from inside the closet I assume ?
That is a dreadful self-indictment by the VP, and portrays both ignorance of the purpose of the Supreme Court and a cynical approach to the appointment of the Justices. Surely it should be the best person for the job? And have they the abilities to protect the Constitution?
Aren’t they supposed to make a decision based on constitutionality etc instead of political affiliation?
Roberts is thinking of the people and not trump. Doing what’s right not what trump wants.
Doing his job.
The Supreme Court only side with the law and justice. Once it starts taking political sides we would be in deep trouble. So having said that looks to me like pence thinks differently and suggests that justices should take political sides.
Why does he think the justices on the Supreme Court are there to please conservatives or liberals?
Well the decisions are supposed to be based on law. I know this administration struggles with that concept.
I'm sick of the whole 'conservative' mentality. Our country is diverse and EVERY American is different. To expect our country to blindly follow an extreme political agenda is foolish and shows the disconnect that exists with this administration. November cant get here soon enough
Time for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to step down as her health has gotten worse... DEM PARTY PUSHES THE WEAK to stay like THEY HAVE PUSHED BIDEN to run for the presidency when they all know BIDEN is NOT all there.. WAKE UP PEOPLE... VOTE RED ALL THE WAY !!!
JoChiaradia Did Roberts forget the Republican narrative?
Pence is wrong!!! Justice Robert's followed the law!! Something Pence, Trump, Barr and Pompeo all have no relationship with
Im curious when its going to come to light he was on the lolita express logs🤔🤔
Because the law don’t matter. It’s all political. He should be impeached for even making this statement.
VP he's the peoples JUDGE NOT YOUR BOUGHT AND PAID FOR APPOINTEE.
Pence's egregious ignorance is second only to Donald Trump. Both men are very dangerous to the community around them.
Naive as it may sound someone should tell VP that Roberts represents the people....not a segment of the population. Pence could learn something. DumpTrump2020 dumppence cnnbrk
RodLurie brilliantly wrote this dialogue on the topic of the separation of church and state for his important 2000 movie “The Contender”, “It is not there to protect religion from the grasp of government, but to protect our government from the grasp of religious fanaticism”.
Trying to control judicial process. Shame on trump and cronies.
There should be no such thing as conservative or liberal Justices on the Supreme Court. There should be nine Justices concerned with Justice for all Americans. Pence is a Republican moron.
Price said that? Was it really him? He doesn’t doesn’t speak or have an original thought in that crystal skull.
Did someone tinker with the Pencebot? It’s more talky than it should be. Reset it to lustful eyes at dear leader.
SCOTUS justices are not supposed to do the bidding of the left or the right. They are to interpret the Constitution and laws independently. I don't always agree with Roberts but he is doing his job.
Who paid off Roberts?
“Rule of law” is a bold faced lie. trump and his side-kick-pence don’t understand Roe v Wade IS the “law of the land. We don’t like the law we break the rules anyway.
I love it when they speak the truth, we get to see just how they think about thinks. This is why you have to read between the lines when you are voting. This is for the folks who voted for Barack then switched to Trump. I blame everything on you!!! Wake up !!!! Vote vote vote
Oh, that's what they're whining about now?
I think Vice President Pence is a disappointment. If he has a mind of his own or a backbone no one has seen it for almost four years.
Obama to American people: The ACA mandate penalty is not a tax. Reid in Congress: End around rules - nuclear option - zero Republican support. Roberts: Mandate penalty must be a tax or it’s not constitutional. Obama to SCOTUS: The ACA mandate is a tax. Roberts: Congrats!
Trump and Pence are destroying our country - they have let down ALL Americans.
Let’s talk about how Pence has disappointed all his Evangelical followers with his lying and groveling. Caves ever time to potus’ Incompetent and dangerous actions
Chief Justice Roberts duty if for ALL AMERICANS. That administration just doesn't get it. Not all Americans that serve our country are into the divide of our country.
Maybe the law is just the law, not liberal or conservative. It is just to hard for people to do the right thing.
Federal judges should never participate in partisan politics. Thomas and his wingnut wife regularly breach this norm.
No political affiliations, piss off, Pence
That is their sworn oath to be impartial & follow the law! Not the political agenda!!!!
VP it’s about the law not politics in the Supreme Court (or its supposed to be) quit your whining
Wow you would think that Mike Pence should have realized that Supreme Court Justices are IMPARTIAL and are not obligated to side with any party!
I feel sick every time I hear the words pro-life. Particularly from pseudo-christians like VP. They are not ProLife. They are pro-birth. Because as soon as birth took place, they couldn’t careless.
He sided with the law!
Mr. Pence please be quite, there are good honest men in this country who knows Constitutional laws, and live there entire life by the Law of this Land. You call yourself a Christian but locking kids in Cage, And allow a racist to stand next to you for 4 years. Go Justice Roberts.
So the Supreme Court is now supposed to be openly partisan ?
Fuck Pence.
Justice Roberts did what was right and what was required of him. You on the other hand, are not.
Admitting he thinks it should be rigged, got it
Legalize Cannabis And Create Millions Of Jobs...(Most States Are Legalizing It Anyway)...Cannabis Is Safer Than Alcohol...Riots...Or Democrats Opening Up Bars And Restaurants During a ((Pandemic))
I thought justices were non partisan
SCOTUS judges aren't supposed to have political affiliation. They're supposed to judge based on the Constitutionality of laws that hit their court. The court would be better as a whole if we stopped appointing politically motivated judges.
VP
And VP & realDonaldTrump have been a MAJOR disappointment to this country...there, we're even
Pence is the worst VP ever
Oh poor Mikey. Maybe mother will console him..... as he crys like a baby in her arms.
u know we're in extreme gop mob land when that liberal wackjob John Roberts is letting them down.
Yeah sucks when the law is against you
then he's a credit to the legal profession. RuleOfLaw
Justice Roberts consider ALL AMERICANS♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️
This is America, Pence. You don't shame judges into compliance, you pay them.
VP are you an attorney? NO. Have you ever taken classes which would qualify you as a Constitutional Scholar? NO. Well Mr. VP being a Judge or a Justice is not about personal opinions or politics and is ALL ABOUT THE LAW AND CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATION AND STARE DECISIS!!
Pence 'We have great respect for the institution of the Supreme Court of the United States, BUT ...' an unAmerican statement by the Executive Branch about SCOTUS, which is an independent Branch of our government. Trump and Pence do not want to lead a democracy
Let’s not all go crazy and start praising Roberts just because he hasn’t given the GOP everything they want. He is a very conservative jurist. Remember campaign finance reform? Remember the Voting Rights Act? Roberts helped shut those down.
Wahhhhh judge Roberts is being a fair judge wahhhhhh he's not being corrupt or biased like we want him to be
Isn’t Roberts the CJ of the US?
Duh
Isn't the CJ expected to side with justice, regardless of political affiliations? If the CJ starts to pass judgement based on political leanings, then how is the US a democracy and where is concept of the rule of law? This coming from the VP is astonishing to say the least!
Well VP , you should know better than all others about disappointing behavior
The chief justice has become, what I call, 'apolitical' that is, not beholden to any political party or ideology. He is what all jurists should be, apolitical.
Very telling that VP publicly states his disappointment that CJ Roberts made a decision not in favor of a political party but in allegiance to the law.
Roberts has sided with the GOP time and time again on voting rights, on corporate donations, on rigging elections.
Pence himself is the huge disappointment. He’s a minion not a leader.
DougKass Pence is the reason Jesus weeps Agree or disagree with the body of Justice Roberts' decisions, but he's on the side of the Constitution - not conservatives Conservatives are happy to cherry pick the Founding Fathers intentions, who certainly didn't want partisan SCOTUS justices
A judge is supposed to be impartial & follow the law. This whole thing that judges are political appointees is just asinine.
Following the law & constitution has nothing to do w/politics or at least *should* have nothing to do w/politics. A good judge knows this. Unfortunately the conservative GOP is now a lawless party that walks all over the constitution. VP sit down. Your time is almost up.
Poor fake Christian & racist white supremacist VP Pence cries that he can't get the dictatorship he has dreamed about for years installed in America. Pence hates it when anyone upholds the law, Constitution and the rights of Americans.
Sorry Pencey, he's being non partisan the way the whole court is suppose to be, No Politics!
Chief Justice Roberts is a judge first and foremost, not conservative or liberal. Politics should never be in our courts. It should only be about the rule of law full stop
So Roberts isn’t an “activist” judge the conservatives are always burping about?
So clear; this Corrupt Administration lead by Donald and Donald’s sidekick Pence are imposing politics in justice system. So sad. American values are been destroyed in front of our eyes and we the people who hired these so called leaders can’t do anything
Country over party. Should try it some time
DougKass VP Pence is 100% right
In other words justice Roberts has integrity.
VP Pence has a warped view of SCOTUS.
I don’t think he cares what you think - he will still have a job in 3 months time
Pence is forgetting that SCOTUS is an INDPENDENT branch of government that is supposed to be apolitical!!
VP he didn’t side with liberals, he sided on the side of democracy. So worried about abortions, you serve with a President who has allegedly had many-hypocrisy at it’s finest. Americans will always remember what you did to our democracy.
So it has nothing to do with Roberts following the rule of the law and constitution? Thank you Justice Roberts for protecting the law REGARDLESS who the defendant is!
Maybe he’s doing as his OATH requires, to uphold the law. Conservatives think they can buy everyone. How awesome to find out he’s a man of INTEGRITY to law, not LOYALTY to party.
