Just as he bent over backwards and discarded his duties to the Constitution to declare Obamacare a tax, Chief Justice John Roberts sought to allow Mississippi to restrict abortion while allowing Roe to continue existing.
This would seem to be an impossibility but he is a political creature who attempts to please his leftist overlord.
Think Grima Wormtongue in a lifetime appointment scurrying into chambers to whisper illogic and immorality into the ears of Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
The Blaze: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts reportedly tried to persuade his conservative colleagues to preserve Roe v. Wade — but the shocking leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion abruptly ended his campaign, according to one report.
What is the background?
After Politico published a draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, in early May that showed the Supreme Court had voted to overturn Roe, Roberts condemned the leak and promised an investigation.
“To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed,” Roberts vowed. “The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.”
What did Roberts do?
CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic revealed in a new story — which is filled with biased language that promotes the pro-abortion agenda — that Roberts lobbied the court’s conservative-leaning justices for months before the leak.
His reported goal? Preserve the scaffolding of abortion rights.
After hearing oral arguments for the case in December, the justices took an initial vote, which succeeded in overturning Roe. That is when Roberts’ campaign began, CNN reported.
Over the course of the next several months, Roberts discussed his concerns about overturning Roe, targeting Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Roberts reportedly wanted to uphold Mississippi’s 15-week ban on abortion, but at the same time preserve the framework of Roe.
However, his lobbying came to sudden end when Politico published the leaked draft.
CNN reported:
Multiple sources told CNN that Roberts’ overtures this spring, particularly to Kavanaugh, raised fears among conservatives and hope among liberals that the chief could change the outcome in the most closely watched case in decades. Once the draft was published by Politico, conservatives pressed their colleagues to try to hasten release of the final decision, lest anything suddenly threaten their majority.
Roberts’ persuasive efforts, difficult even from the start, were thwarted by the sudden public nature of the state of play. He can usually work in private, seeking and offering concessions, without anyone beyond the court knowing how he or other individual justices have voted or what they may be writing.
The guy is a snake and I will forever be grateful for the justices that bravely stood up for life and the Constitution. And I’ll pray for those who didn’t even though I don’t want to.
