enate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Friday that John Roberts misled the Senate during his confirmation hearings by pretending to be a moderate — and that the United States is now “stuck” with him as chief justice.
“Roberts didn’t tell us the truth. At least Alito told us who he was,” Reid said, referring to Samuel Alito, the second Supreme Court justice nominated by President George W. Bush. “But we’re stuck with those two young men, and we’ll try to change by having some moderates in the federal courts system as time goes on — I think that will happen.”
Reid’s comments, which came during a wide-ranging discussion hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, reflect Democratic concerns that Roberts presented himself as a neutral arbiter of the law but has wielded a relentlessly conservative agenda. Republicans reject the attacks, saying Roberts has been a fair judge and has been consistent in his opinions.

Just a thought.
I hope that the next cycle will clean some of the scum out of the drainpipe.
Honestly, there is no way that he has done what hes done because he honestly didn't know.
They all knew!...they just want to smooth the thing over.
Well, hopefully they've smoothed their last issue....hopefully the people will demand accountability rather than just move ahead and try to fix this disaster.
If I didn't know better I'd almost think that the size of the disaster is somehow attached to how much energy it will take to fix it and thus keep the country too busy to track down and prosecute the criminals...just saying....
