Dear Justice Roberts, time to step down

[question everything]

You obviously lost your court so why continue being humiliated?

Please step down. Now. Before the Senate may change hands. Let President Biden nominate a new Chief Justice to tilt back the lopsided composition of liars with their own agenda.

Before the turtle has a chance to play his duplicitous game of "not confirming a justice during the president' last year" except when he changes his mind.

A grateful nation will thank you.

1. why would he, he is still way to the right

not a centrist by any stretch, especially on guns. He also will likely overturn same sex marriage - just read his dissent in Obergefel.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

2. Actually might be the only way to save his legacy

don't think he has the courage or the stones to do it.

Might be the only way to fend off the shadow docket and it's heartless crew

3. Question

Thomas wants to ban same sex marriage. He missed one, bi-racial marriage.

If Alito is using a Justice that burned withes as his guide he could do this, too.

What a crazy bunch of loons Mitch and his savior gave this country!

4. I agree with Keith Olbermann....

12. But, Keith, roberts is not a patriotic american, but a sniveling toady.

[question everything]

15. But I think that he cares about the SCOTUS image (such as exists)

Some years ago he was talking about they are all judges, not Obama Judges or Trump judges (or something)

He certainly was humiliated by the leak.

Alito and, it seems Thomas are full of rage and anger and humiliation and this is what is driving them.

If he steps down the balance will not change, except it will be 5-4 instead of the lopsided 6-3. I think that this is important to him. Or used to.

5. He won't.

1. He kind of agrees with the new majority.
2. He likes being Chief Justice.
3. He won't resign and let Clarence Thomas become the new CJ.

7. #3 doesn't work that way but I'm sure you're right on #s 1 & 2.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. You're probably right but if Roberts doesn't resign, he stays CJ.

[onenote]

6. Meanwhile, in the real world, that isn't going to happen.

[Autumn]

8. Why on earth do you think he would even think of stepping down? This boggles the mind.

His court is going exactly like he wants it to go. Fuck him and the horse he came in on.

[question everything]

9. Except he does not lead, he is being dragged by Alito and Thomas

He is just one of the nine and was humiliated by the early leak and, no doubt, by more events of which we are not aware and more to come.

Alito is still pissed for not being the chief and is now hitting hard.

[Autumn]

11. He is being led exactly where he wants to go.

[Samrob]

10. He obviously doesn't have the respect of other Justices, he has done nothing about Gini Thomas crap.

He is not the person I thought he was.

[question everything]

16. Glad that there are others opinions like this one... from the NYT

13. Seppuku would be nice, but that requires something which he does not possess.

[kentuck]

17. He may as well....Alito is running the Court at this time...

..with a lot of assistance from Clarence Thomas. The others are ideological followers.
