Vice President Mike Pence blasted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by a Republican, as a"disappointment" for his votes on several narrow rulings that went against the outcome hoped for by conservatives.

The vice president pointed to Roberts' 2012 vote upholding the Affordable Care Act and"a spate of recent decisions," including the Calvary Chapel case last month, a 5-4 ruling that went against a church seeking exemptions from Nevada's coronavirus restrictions. Roberts has become the court's swing vote in recent years. He has also sided with liberal justices in two major decisions extending protections against workplace discrimination to LGBTQ employees and blocking the Trump administration from rescinding a policy that allows about 650,000 young, undocumented people to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation.

Pence is as pathetic as his boss.

Pence said that Roberts was a disappointment. I would not say that was “blasting” him. Don’t exaggerate. That was very mild.

Couldn’t the Chief Justice be neutral and do what’s right and not base his decision on who’s right? Why is that a problem? This is what’s wrong with the whole system! We have two main parties, who cry, scream and shout with tantrums when things do go their way!

So...Supreme Court judges are pick to serve political ideologies?

And you Mr Vice President, are a disappointment to mankind.

Robert's doing a tremoundous job ! pense is not !

Well trump and his lapdog pence have been more than a little disappointment to the entire country.

If he’s a good judge, nobody should be able to predict his votes. The arguments should persuade him, not his personal beliefs. Therefore a judge shouldn’t be conservative or liberal, a judge should be fair.

Maybe because he’s a SUPREME court judge and represent the WHOLE country, not just one party line the president.

...because the Constitution is a disappointment to Conservatives?

A PRINCIPLED MAN

“A government of laws, and not of men. Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” John Adams

mike_pence or maybe Justice Roberts is real jurist and not a political pawn, with a an exceedingly better knowledge of the Constitution than you and your boss.

Disappointment? That's hilarious coming from Pence VP

Why? Because they don’t like principled jurists?

He's not there to serve conservatives, he's there to serve the US Constitution.

Conservative Lawyers Are Making John Roberts the Boogeyman of the ElectionThe conservative legal movement must convince voters the Supreme Court is on the brink of liberal control. When I speak to my conservative friends, asking them to vote for Biden -- I remind them that they already achieved their objective. Judicial benches all across the country have been filled with conservative judges. A vote for Biden isn't going to change that.
