The new anti-Trumper: Roberts
Supreme Court Denies Trump Administration Request to Reinstate Asylum Ban
Chief Justice John Roberts is the swing vote in latest legal setback for the president’s immigration policy.
A federal judge in San Francisco last month blocked enforcement of the ban for now, finding the Trump administration’s efforts likely contravened the law because Congress has said immigrants can seek asylum no matter how they come to the U.S. A federal appeals court agreed.
The emergency appeal produce a clear split at the Supreme Court. The justices, as is customary for emergency appeals, didn’t explain their reasoning, but four conservatives—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh—registered a dissent, saying in one sentence they would have allowed the administration to implement the ban for now.
That means Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s four liberal justices in forming a majority to deny the government’s request.
Well, no worries: Roberts will make up for the confirmation of Kavanaugh.
What a jerk!

That is why I think that the Kavanaugh appointment is not necessarily a means to a conservative Court. With Roberts consistently voting with the left, there is no gain on the conservative side. If Trump is able to install another constitutionalist replacing RBG, then we may have a reliable SCOTUS.
But I am not holding my breath.
For starters, any nominee by Trump will have a blistering confirmation process. Kavanaugh's was and indication.
Second, assuming he/she is confirmed, the dynamics of the Court may change. Adding another conservative may not work the way we expect. Kavanaugh sided with Roberts recently against the conservative block.
The solution to me is to expedite the process so that someone is usually only here a couple of days before getting a ruling.

The statist politicians also appear to use use character necktie parties to execute their opponents reputations without evidence, e.g., the recent confirmation hearings of potential supreme court justices and attempts to remove the current president before the next election.
Disclaimer- I have not been to South Africa and do not understand Zulu, Bantu, nor Africaans. I do not imply that the esteemed judge is or is not worthy of an award. This is a joke right? I deeply apologize to the jewelry trade for any offense, etc .. ..
Roberts knows all too well that THERE ARE OBAMA judges and the fact that he joined the liberal left here to prove his point reflects poorly on him.
It looked like "to hell with the country" when I want to make a point.
His ACA decision was a harbinger of what is to come. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after that but now he is solidifying his liberal beliefs
He will be invited to many parties in DC after this.
So they can apply for asylum and waste more taxpayers $ in the process. Who controls the rules for denial of asylum?
