Listen this guy is a disaster. Like Obama he only cares about his legacy. He made up and rewrote Obamacare to save it from being declared unconstitutional as it should have been. He objected to Trump’s characterization of the judiciary as being biased based on which party appointed them. No statement has ever been more true. Obama appointed judges who hold the view that the constitution is a living document and can invent rights at will that are no where in the constitution and that the founders would be abhorred by. Trump has appointed judges that believe the constitution means what it says and if you want to change it then amend it.

Now he has twice refused to let Senator Rand Paul ask a question about the whistleblower. He has no authority to do that other than I say so. As I have previously stated, there is no statute that covers this gossip. There is no provision in the inapplicable statute that protects him from being named. Also as previously noted, federal whistleblower statutes don’t provide for anonymity. Your identity is known and you are protected from retaliation. Roberts is way out of line and still trying to kowtow to the left in the bogus hope that he will be viewed favorably by history. If there is one thing that the right, and supposed right — are you listening Romney— need to understand is that the left will only like you when and as long as you are a useful idiot.

Now the reason for this rant. I assume most of you don’t know that the Chief Justice serves at the pleasure of the president. That’s right! Trump could remove him as Chief Justice — he would still be a Justice but not the Chief Justice — and could replace him with Neil Gorsuch. This would require confirmation by the senate. Therefore, I would suggest that if Trump is re-elected, as he will be, and Republicans keep their majority in the senate, he should replace Roberts with Gorsuch. With any luck, if Gorsuch was confirmed, Roberts would resign and give Trump the opportunity to appoint another real originalist. And then when RBG has to resign or becomes incapacitated during his second term, he could put in place a court that would protect the constitution for a generation or two.

Additionally, Justice Clarence Thomas may well decide to resign in a second Trump term. He’s getting old and may like Justice Kennedy want to resign when he knows Trump will appoint someone with similar views.

PS. The above was always my understanding and I remember it coming up in the past. However, it’s apparently an open question. Also as one reader suggested, it wouldn’t be worth the political fallout that would ensue. My anger got the best of me.
