of the conservative position. No politics here.

You hear about the few 5-4 decisions because those are the ones that get reported in the media.

Do you seriously believe politics does not drive SCOTUS decisions like Bush v. Gore and Citizens United?

Although there is politics on both sides. Obama's appointees vote with Roberts about 80% of the time. Most SC decisions do not involve politics but battles between corporations.

The most important cases are always decided by politics. The Supremes, even some of the Obama picks, nearly always side in favor of big corporate interests.

The Supremes gave away all their "we're NOT political" bragging rights when they gave us the bushes.

All of our branches of government are political to one degree or another and they were designed that way.

Just because he says so, we are supposed to believe it? When everything they do is divided according to politics.
They no longer interpret the laws and the constitution, they are re-writing it from the bench according to their own doctrine.

I'm inclined to at least give him the benefit of the doubt.

Empty, though.

Do we have any branch of government that doesn't consider us stoopid?

Otherwise, it's hard to show up for work every morning.

Precedent, precedent, precedent. You lying sack of crap.

seems to remove you from the real world.

They will believe this bullshit because of who he is and the setting in which it was delivered. This is how the evil ones capture the minds of the young.

Money = speech, corporations are people and have religion? Utter and complete bull shit!

...you would be an outhouse crooner...

Long overdue discussion about ethics in general, not just a a political thing, that is just part of the problem.

And was he asked why he thinks the court is at a historical low in public trust?

And corporations are people and money is speech.

I see what you did here.

but Alito, Scaley, and the other one are purely politically motivated.

Right. And again, how was the 2000 Presidential Election decided?

A bunch of people on the court today weren't justices in 2000.

He was speaking of the SC as an institution. It's irrelevant that he wasn't on the SC in 2000. My point is that the SC is and always has been politically partisan. Roberts is either naïve or a liar. My guess is that he is the latter.

enema, he could fit in shoebox. I do not think he is unaware of politics, he just wants to smooth over the cultural/social/historical problems he has helped cause. However, he is full of it.

that is precious.

and Bush v. Gore indicates otherwise.

"Law" as interpreted by a majority of activist and very conservative justices ....

One comes to mind that I unfriended and blocked on Facebook after being friends with for a long long time (as in way before Facebook existed).

just ate the whole thing up?

The lying jerk. If he really believes what he says he has no place holding a job with responsibility, as his ideas are not based in reality.

How stupid do they think we are?

Pretty fucking stupid. And they've been right about that for the most part, sadly.

and his court is non-political. Funniest thing I've heard in decades.
