Chief Justice Roberts and the president
Posted by exceller 6 years, 5 months ago to Legislation
Roberts rebutted the president on his remark of "Obama judges, Clinton judges" as a 9the Circuit Judge appointed by Obama blocked his order on the Central American migrants flooding this country.
According to Roberts there are no biased judges only an independent judiciary.
He must have been sleeping the past 20 years.
After Obama chastised the Court in his State of the Union message, Roberts turned around and cast the deciding vote to keep ACA. We should never forget that.
I would not be surprised that after the confirmation of Kavanaugh he'd join the liberal left of the Court.

What I found interesting is not that Alito and Kennedy agree 90% of the time and that Kagan and Sotomayor agree 90% of the time, but that hardly anyone disagrees with anyone else.
The way this works is that legal problems move forward. They become more complex. They hinge on new situations. Take the current case of Apple vs. Pepper. The radical view is that anti-trust is unreal and should be voided completely. But that is not the conservative or liberal assumption. Given the existence and long history of anti-trust, the case will be decided on its merits in that context. What the justices agree or disagree on will be points of law. In that, some will of necessity share more or fewer perspectives.
Actually, the 9th Circuit only has the 2nd or 3rd (tie with the 11th Circuit) worse case scenario regarding overturns.
The honor goes to the 6th Circuit in Ohio.
Here are the stats:
1st: 6th Circuit of Ohio, 90% of cases overturned by SC;
2nd: 11th Circuit in Atlanta, 78%;
3rd: 9th Circuit of California, 78%, a tie with the 11th Circuit.
