[quote="Perfect_Order"][quote="Basra-"]For me the Fundamental quandary is WHY Justice Roberts chose to vote with the liberals. And more importantly why Liberal leaning Justice Kennedy voted with the republic. That is the one million dollar question. The answer? The justices are saving their jobs. They became too predictable, voting along party, political line instead of constitution. Basically, self preservation tactic won the day, and i salute Justice Roberts for a brilliant move that will guarantee him a historic legacy, right along with our adoon president.

PO
A supreme appt. last until the judge is extremely old and not in control over his or her foculties. Therefore--Chief Justice Roberts, the hero of this recent supreme drama--is currently 57 years old-- he has another 30 years provided he lives that long.
