Chief Justice John Roberts is a nightmare. He is a disgrace! President Trump’s team better start preparing for the possibility that Roberts will rule in favor of releasing President Trump’s financial records in the coming weeks.

Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana law on abortion clinic restrictions
Story continues below advertisementBy Fox News, June 29, 2020
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a Louisiana law requiring that individuals who perform abortions at clinics have admitting privileges in a nearby hospital is unconstitutional, as it places an undue burden on women seeking abortions.
The court ruled 5-4 in the case, June Medical Services LLC v. Russo, with Chief Justice John Roberts once again casting a deciding vote by siding with the court’s liberal justices.
The opinion, written by Justice Stephen Breyer, noted that the Louisiana law is “almost word-for-word identical” to a Texas law the court ruled was unconstitutional in 2016’s Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. A District Court had rejected the Louisiana law because of that precedent, but a court of appeals ruled otherwise.
“We have examined the extensive record carefully and conclude that it supports the District Court’s findings of fact,” Breyer wrote. “Those findings mirror those made in Whole Woman’s Health in every relevant respect and require the same result. We consequently hold that the Louisiana statute is unconstitutional.”
Breyer noted that the District Court found that the law “offers no significant health benefit” and that “conditions on admitting privileges common to hospitals throughout the State have made and will continue to make it impossible for abortion providers to obtain conforming privileges for reasons that have nothing to do with the State’s asserted interests in promoting women’s health and safety.”
Ultimately, the majority felt that this case was virtually the same as the 2016 case, and ruled accordingly.
“This case is similar to, nearly identical with, Whole Woman’s Health,” Breyer wrote. “And the law must consequently reach a similar conclusion.”
Roberts had dissented in the 2016 case and said in a concurring opinion that while he still believes that the past case was wrongly decided, he was ruling with the majority in the present case due to court precedent.
“The legal doctrine of stare decisis requires us, absent special circumstances, to treat like cases alike,” Roberts wrote. “The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons. Therefore Louisiana’s law cannot stand under our precedents.”

I know this might be difficult and challenging for someone of your limited intellect to comprehend, but they represents little human beings to scale. Aren’t you glad your mother didn’t abort you?
Why is it those who weren’t aborted have the dumbest, loudest voices for abortion? Can you explain that? I’ll help you. You are just plain evil.
This should cheer you up!
BAN ABORTIONS!
I am happy to be extreme when it comes to dismembering little human beings for convenience.

I am and also Pro-Choice like 70% of the US population. You realize by pushing forced birth you’re stomping on other people’s religious freedom right?
You want to force women to have babies they didn’t want or ask for. Not to mention that pregnancies can be dangerous and lead to death, but ofc you don’t give a damn about the life of the mother, you just want baby-factories.
I think every pro-life must be forced to convert to Islam, fast for a month, pray 5 times a day and go on a jihad to spread Islam. How would you like that?
Afterall apparently fasting is “healthy” so you wouldn’t want to harm your body by not fasting. So I’m pro-life, when it comes to forcing people to fast.

I’m not surprised you are pro abortion. I don’t know of any “religion” that supports murdering a little human being. Why not legalize murder for adults too? I also don’t know of a righteous “religion” in any form that okays murdering of adults either except for Islam that is pure evil, not a legitimate “religion” and would like you dead.
Murder is murder! I think it is sad that you would only advocate the murder of a defenseless little human being. What CHOICE did that little human being have? Having a baby is NOT “dangerous”. What century do you live in? Very FEW women have a life and death situation by a pregnancy. Again, I ask, what century do you live in? I can say with confidence, you don’t give a dam about human life and your excuses for murdering babies are pathetic with no honor. Prior to abortion, women had dignity and honor and valued human life.
“I think every pro-life must be forced to convert to Islam, fast for a month, pray 5 times a day and go on a jihad to spread Islam. How would you like that?”
What does this have to do with murdering a little human being? Even MUSLIMS shun and don’t have abortions! We do have freedom of religion in the U.S.. I also don’t know of a Muslim country that allows abortion so we won’t have to worry about that. It is communists who are atheists, like China that FORCE abortions on women. Didn’t you say you were an atheist? Or did you say you were Jewish? Abortions are not allowed by Jews either….
“Afterall apparently fasting is “healthy” so you wouldn’t want to harm your body by not fasting. So I’m pro-life, when it comes to forcing people to fast.”
Fasting is healthy for you and many Jews and Christians as well as other religions fast. Fasting is not forced on anyone. What a strange comparison – forced fasting to abortion. Ban Islam, I am sorry to say but you are really confused. You have no respect for human life. Ban Islam, I know you can do better than this… give this issue some logical thought…What made you so bitter? Be glad your mother didn’t abort you.
Fasting is optional and doesn’t have murdering a little human being as the outcome…. Come on Ban Islam…..even you have to admit that illogcal comparison is a stretch to try and justify baby murder. Communists are all FOR abortion and so are atheists and Hitler. Hitler had no value for human life…. I hope you do some soul searching. Islam also has no regard for human life of the nonbeliever but their women are forbidden from having abortions…..

How is it that one bad decision that the chief justice disagrees with becomes a precedent. If he disagreed with the previous decision he should have had the moral courage to correct it. Precedent be damned. A bad decision need to be corrected, not reinforced by another bad decision.

He could have gotten rid of Obamacare, but instead, called it a “tax.” That’s when people who didn’t WANT it, had to pay $1,500 a year more on their federal taxes. What he did was commit treason on this country with Obamacare. Every single American KNEW it wasn’t a tax, it was the product of a DICTATOR!

Both Bush presidents were GLOBALISTS, that was the heinous problem with them. I don’t think either was a RINO, but both were GLOBALISTS, which is MARXISM.

Murder of the unborn is more important than a woman’s health. To Justice Roberts, Satan is waiting for you and the three witches of the court.

How is this any kind of “burden” on the women when it’s clearly a requirement of the Abortion clinic itself?? This is beyond ridiculous but such is the nature of leftist politics. The Deep State must have Roberts nailed down real good., the coward.

Science, technology, morality has advanced, but we still have people stuck in the bronze age who think the best ideas were from 2,000 years ago because they read it in an ancient book of myths and fables and we should stay that way.
“Pro-Life” (forced fascist birthing) is trampling on women’s, human, reproductive and religious rights. What happened to don’t tread on me?
As for the fetus it’s not a person until it can live independently of the mother, till then it’s a clump of cells growing in her body. If she doesn’t want it there, that’s her right, not yours, or some fat bible-thumpers, using fake pseudo-science bullcrap to justify their abuse of women’s rights.

Lots of things have advanced, but obviously you haven’t. You can’t give an answer to the prophecies of the Bible, yet your puffed up arrogance makes you think you can still render a criticism. You have stagnated your own development by presuming a conclusion without study. If God didn’t give the prophecies, then where did they come from?
But perhaps science is your strong suit, so what answer do you have for this chicken and egg question? ‘DNA cannot exist without a cell wall, yet the code for said wall is in the DNA. One can’t exist without the other and would have to inexplicably develop simultaneously in an instant, and then become dependent upon the other, all by accident without design’. Yet you say we are the fools.

I feel sorry for you. Poor, self-lover, who thinks he/she is the most knowledgeable person on the earth, but who repeats almost word for word the propaganda that have been repeated over and over for years by the devil worshipers. You will probably come back at me with something nasty, so be it. You and others like you have perverted science to fit into your narrative. What I learned in my schooling, was that as soon as a cell divided, there was growth, there was life, animal or plant. And what about the man’s rights? What if he doesn’t want her to abort his baby. It is his baby too, but I guess that only counts when she wants to keep the child and make him pay child support. Prevention is the only right. Abortion is murder.

Women’s rights, BS. Her “right” is to prevent pregnancy not abort a life. Only women can become pregnant. So it is their moral obligation, and there is no reason not, to practice birth control, it’s free. Men also, should use condoms. Abortion is murder.

IMHO Robert’s vote was a political decision not to inject abortion into the coming election. The issue needs to be revisited after November.

I used to hope God would remove RBG. But, anymore I hope He removes Roberts. As long as Trump gets reelected, we’ll have 2 conservative judges to replace RBG, and Kennedy. No way RGB can last much longer, so she won’t be a problem much longer. Kennedy is retiring. If Roberts has a stroke, that’s 3!
