When Obama didn’t like a court order, he ignored it.
American Thinker: In fact , he exceeded the constitutional bounds of his office at least 10 times,notes Ilya Shapiro. He did it in intervening in Libya without even notifying Congress; in subverting creditors’ rights in the Chrysler bailout; in his administration’s implementation of ObamaCare; In the political profiling by the IRS; in illegally appointing three members of the NLRB and the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Board when Congress was not in recess; in directing “the Department of Homeland Security to issue work and residence permits” to the so-called Dreamers (Deferred Action to Childhood Arrivals); in assaulting free speech and due process on college campuses; in creating and implementing his clean power plan; in his overly expansive clean water plan to cover water which is not navigable; in adopting a net neutrality rule; in implementing a cap-and-trade rule.
After the 2014 midterms, the president decided that he had been wrong 22 times in saying he couldn’t give temporary legal status to illegal immigrants. The administration engineered this Deferred Action for Parents of Americans in the wake of Congress’ rejection of the same policies, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, immigration law, and the Constitution’s Take Care Clause.
By contrast, although hampered at every turn by Obama-appointed district court judges assuming themselves to be commanders-in-chief and issuing nationwide injunctions against presidential actions on spurious grounds, this administration has continued to follow the accepted path of appealing those rulings, despite the delays that entails.
Oddly, Chief Justice Roberts took issue with the notion that these usurpers are Obama judges, claiming the federal judiciary is politically neutral. I say oddly, because twice Roberts has not been politically neutral — once in affirming the constitutionality of ObamaCare’s mandatory insurance on grounds not argued by the government and now in deciding that including a question about citizenship while constitutionally permissible and done according to the relevant statutes might have been done for an undeclared motive, partisan advantage. By waiting until the last day of the term to announce his decision, he in effect gave himself a pocket veto. This is so because the time for printing the forms was so close and the census due to begin in October, shortly after the court returns for a new term. Though the case was remanded to take evidence about the purpose of the question it is likely the conclusion of that exercise below which would certainly return to his court could not be resolved in time by the Roberts’ court.
h/t Forcibly Deranged.
Someone has big dirt on this guy.
@beachmom I agree, or why else would he be such a treasonous POS!

“Someone has big dirt on this guy.”
…big dirt or a small boy…
Roberts is compromised, I recognized that early on. The Chicago Democrat machine has the goods on him.
Robert’s name will forever be Mudd to me.
When the 2020 elections are over I can only hope that Trump is re-elected, the Senate Republican majority is increased (hopefully by actual republicans) and the Congress is taken back by a large majority. Then maybe when impeachment talk is floated it’s from Republicans (real ones) and it’s about Roberts.
How much do you want to be this asshat is on Epstein’s guest list. That’s how Bathhouse Barry and company does business.
Obama wrote ad hoc exceptions to the Obamacare tax mandate on the fly and in favor of certain state as well as exemptions on his own without any Congressional vote or input constantly.
But the cat’s got Robert’s tongue then.
Trump wants add a benign question to the Census? Lawdy!!! We need a good reason for that.
When did that ever become a standard? Did every question get that scrutiny or any scrutiny from the Lefislative branch? Nope. Just lawless tyrants in robes.
…you left “swearing in a foreigner that is not Constitutionally qualified to be President AS President, TWICE” off your list…
If anyone sees Chief Justice Roberts having a seizure in the swimming pool, please take the opportunity to throw in a box of soap and a couple loads of laundry!
Sadly, I was a big supporter of his nomination. Continue self-flagellation
…Hillary’s got experience with, eh, creating SC vacancies and Clinton’s will usually do ANYTHING for money, so you don’t suppose we could maybe, uh…
He wanted his adoptive children to come from Ireland so he had the process fudged to soot his needs and power.
Three times, Supernightshade, if you count the do-over on the flubbed first term swearing in. Not a good omen for either one of them. Or us, for that matter.
Oops, make that four times; He swore obama in twice in 2012, too, because they didn’t want to leave anything to chance after the first term cockup.
I read that he had a private 45 minute “meeting” wtth Barry when BS came to town.
Might be good to run DNA for the whole “family”.

…is that like saying “candlejack” three times? That would explain where Obama REALLY came from…

Great disappointment, that Roberts. I think Clarence Thomas is the only solid Constitutionalist, Strict Constructionist, on the Court.
But then I’m just a deplorable.
“Someone has big dirt on this guy.”
jeffrey epstein?
Thirdtwin. Did he say “So help me God.”? Demorats don’t like to say that anymore.
Impeach that POS Roberts
The Roberts family has no honor.
Arguably, Roberts was Dubyas biggest mistake
@Gen. Lovell ~ Roberts was no mistake …. Bush knew he could be compromised from the get-go … I’d say, counted on it
Go Bush Go!
Disclaimer – I never voted for the leftist GWB! In ’04 I VOTED AGAINST JFK! there is a big diff!
Proof that the worst liberal/progressives are in the GOP!
If you do a little digging you will find that Brennan and the Obama administration were spying on members of the court. They used the same government assets against the court that they tried to use against the president. i would not be surprised with a little more digging you would find that they PROBABLY got rid of justice Scalia as well. Typical Chicago style politics Why is ANYONE SURPRISED. i am not
