#2 Anybody now why Roberts ruled? Any statements released, opinions written? What does he say to defend or explain his actions? For the record, you know?

#3 Does Roberts "ever" vote with the people? SCOTUS justices basically have positions for life unless they get impeached. The only justice who ever got impeached was Samuel Chase but he was acquitted by the Senate.

#4 Yep, we need a real* Republican in the White House to make sure that SCOTUS remains faithful the text of the (now ignored) Constitution by his appointments.

*real as defined by the GOPe. While GWB was a nice guy, he was a 'classical' liberal who would have just as easily fitted in with the 1950s or early 60s Donks.

#5 As I said before, we really need to change the way the SC is done.

Each state appoints a judge for a one year term. Vice President is the winning vote in a tie.

Keeps presidents from stacking the court and idiots like Roberts in for life.

#6 The mercury pollution standards

Mercury is a threat to health. That is why the govt mandates it's use in household light bulbs.

#7 Temporary 'victory' until the current study is completed in April. The 'victory' for the EPA in means 45 days won't matter one way or the other - we ought to let the process play out.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request Thursday to block the EPA’s mercury-emissions rule while legal challenges proceed, handing a temporary victory to the the Obama administration and environmental groups.

Roberts’ refusal to grant a stay will allow the Obama administration to rein in toxic emissions while the EPA tabulates the rule’s cost. The agency’s review is expected to be finished in April.
