Pollak: John Roberts Shows Supreme Court at Stake Again in 2020 Election

Many conservatives voted for President Donald Trump in 2016 solely because the fate of the Supreme Court was at stake. They will have to do so again in 2020, because the Court remains liberal, and Democrats want to pack it further.
Nominally, conservatives have a 5-4 majority, if the only consideration is the party of the president who nominated them. But Chief Justice John Roberts has repeatedly sided with the Court’s liberals, from the Obamacare decision until today.
In the last two weeks alone, Roberts has sided with the liberals in the LGTBQ discrimination case; the case blocking President Trump from rescinding DACA (for now); and now, on Monday, a case striking down a Louisiana abortion law.
Though President Trump has nominated two justices, Neli Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, to the Court, they have been unable to affect the outcome in these cases — and Gorsuch actually joined Roberts and the liberals on one occasion.
Recall that it was Roberts who offered a rare public comment in 2018 rejecting the president’s description of “Obama judges” and “Trump judges.”
Trump was right, of course. But Roberts was making the case for his own defection.
Instead of a conservative Court, we have a liberal one. And until a Republican president can replace one or more of the current liberal justices, the Supreme Court will continue the Obama-Biden project of “fundamental transformation.”

This fall, Buttigieg will teach an undergraduate course on trust in American research institutions. The course will be supplemented by guest lectures from various experts.
Buttigieg, who was most notably the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, where the University of Notre Dame is located, will also conduct research on how politicians can restore trust in the American political system.
“I am delighted to join this academic community to pursue research on one of the most salient issues of our time, the nature of trust,” the former South Bend mayor said. “I look forward to engaging with faculty and students from various disciplines at a time in the life of our country that calls for deep and wide-ranging inquiry.”
Buttigieg joins other politicians including former U.S House Speaker Paul Ryan and former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who have both taught at the University of Notre Dame.
Yeah. Spouse anon thinks these decisions are designed to attract more voters to Trump. Then after election, Trump can change make-up of SCOTUS.
