Folks,

I’ve never trusted Willy-Nilly Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts:

1)      Ann Coulter correctly called the shots on Roberts 10 years ago early on when G.W. Bush appointed him: After conservatives took another gut punch from black-robed Obamacare cheerleader Chief Justice John Roberts, many of us were left wondering just what in the heck is wrong with this guy. After all, these Republican appointees to the Supreme Court are supposed to be on our side, right? They can’t all be David Souter. Souter was nominated for the Supreme Court without a significant "paper trail" but was expected to be a conservative Justice. Within a few years of his appointment Souter moved towards the center and eventually came to vote reliably with the Court's liberal wing---Sound familiar?

2)      The proof in the pudding because he has been a disaster for libertarians and conservatives alike. Besides his rewriting of Obamacare to make it a tax-huh? Are you kidding me?

3)      He remarked (paraphrased here) in response to one of Trump’s twitter remarks about the left winged activists 9^th Circuit Court that never supports the Constitution and immigration laws as written: “There are no left or right judges-all just judges.” He has that black robe fastened too tight around his neck, so he’s delusional.

4)      As long as we are on the subject of whether there is such an animal as an "Obama judge," let us consider the judges who sit on the FISA court and issue warrants allowing surveillance of American citizens who are suspected foreign agents, essentially taking the uncontested word of the government.

5)      He failed to take action on oversight of the FISA court judges, even after Admiral Mike Rodgers, 2014 Director of the National Security Agency, warned the Obama administration that FBI contractors were not following FISA law procedures and that the FISA Court judges were basically “rubber stamping” warrant applications. The “Honorable” Chief Justice is responsible for oversight of the FISA Court. He did “ZILCH.” I think he is plain lazy!

6)       This week he failed to support the 1^st Amendment appeal lawsuit from CA ministers who want to open their churches and keep the flock hopeful. Roberts, true to delusional form, twisted the 1^st Amendment to support communist governor Gavin Newsom who is preventing church leaders from practicing their faith. Meanwhile, abortion clinics are alive and well in CA so children can continue to be terminated. I’m all for state funded abortions under some circumstances, but these are not essential medical procedures. More double speak from the Chief Justice!

7)      Even after the two damning DOJ IG reports that point to the complete corruption in the FISA Act and FISA judges, Roberts has failed to take any action or responsibility to fix the system that was used to weaponize the justice system and conspire against the sitting President.

8)      Chief Justice Roberts is the one who gets to appoint judges to the FISA court – every last one of them, judges like Rudolph Contreras, who granted a previously denied Michael Flynn FISA warrant.  His appointees are the ones who swallowed whole the contentions of the Obama administration using unverified material put together by a British agent and his Russian sources to aid one political party at the expense of another.

9)      The FISA court and its star chamber judges make for a borderline example of the prophetic warning about trading a little liberty for a little security and winding up with neither.  The potential abuse of FISA powers is enormous, and the damage that has been done to our republic and our politics has been staggering. Where is Roberts? Asleep at the wheel and Drunk on Power!

10)     ... [T]he 11 judges are appointed exclusively by the Chief Justice of the United States, without any supplemental confirmation from the other two branches of government.  John Roberts has named every member of the current court, as a well as a separate three-judge panel to hear appeals of FISC orders, known as the Court of Review.

11)     So how could a court over which Chief Justice John Roberts has complete control allow frauds to be committed upon it in a manner more fitting in a banana republic?  With pressure on President Trump to declassify and release the FISA warrants and substantiating documents, if any, could Justice Roberts be getting nervous about what might be found?

12)     It was astonishing, for example, to find out from Judicial Watch that these FISA warrants used against Team Trump were issued without any hearings being held, starting with the one issued against Carter Page:

13)     Would Justice Roberts approve of releasing the FISA warrants and explain how the judges he appointed could ever approve them?  Consider that former FBI director James Comey, in testimony given under oath in June 2017, said the Steele dossier was "salacious and unverified."  Yet Comey signed off on at least one, if not four, FISA warrant applications based on the "salacious and unverified" dossier.  Either he was lying to Congress or he was lying to the FISA Court judge.  In any event, he was out to get Trump, and the FISA abuse and his plot to set up Robert Mueller as a special counsel without a crime to investigate or any evidence of collusion were both parts of his conspiracy.

14)     Without Comey's FBI submitting false FISA requests, which Roberts's appointees allowed, including at least one signed off on by Comey himself, there would have been no surveillance of Team Trump and no special counsel.  The mystery in all this is the silence of the FISA Court that was lied to, judges who sat as a fraud was committed on the court, and a Chief Justice John Roberts who harrumphs that judges have no political birthmarks even as the judges he put on the FISA court participated in an attempted political coup by the Obama administration against its successor.

Since there unfortunately are no term limits to the “Men in Black” let’s hope we can limit the damage of this willy-nilly Chief Justice and get rid of the ever-fading liberal radical Ruth Ginsberg. Trump hopefully will appoint a real conservative to replace her. Chief Justice Roberts is a disgrace compared to some of real impartial chief justices on Supreme Court.
