Prominent conservatives, including our own Mona Salama, are railing against the Supreme Court and particularly Chief Justice John Roberts, following his latest decision to join the Court’s liberal bloc.
Wow. Win in 2020!!! https://t.co/q1XDB5BuTY

Roberts allied himself with the left once again by rejecting a Nevada church’s request to expand the number of congregants allowed at places of worship in the Silver State.
The Hill’s Marty Johnson reports:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted early Saturday morning that Roberts had “abandoned his oath.”
John Roberts has abandoned his oath.
But, on the upside, maybe Nevada churches should set up craps tables? Then they could open? https://t.co/6pWoOwg9ts

“What happened to that judge?” tweeted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.).
“Freedom of religion is our first freedom. Yet SCOTUS has ruled that casinos can host hundreds of gamblers, while churches cannot welcome their full congregations. Justice Roberts once again got it wrong, shamefully closing church doors to their flocks,” Cotton added in a statement.
John Roberts at his hearing: “If the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy’s going to win in court before me.”
What happened to that judge?
He didn’t mention his belief that casinos have more rights than churches. https://t.co/KjpyLbkIMo

Currently, places of worship in Nevada can only allow 50 people inside at a time, regardless of their size or if social distancing measures are followed. The state stubbornly remains in phase two of reopening with a surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. Yet businesses such as casinos and restaurants can operate at 50 percent capacity. The Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley claimed this discrepancy violated their first amendment rights.
Defending its imposed restrictions, Nevada stated that its regulations didn’t target places of worship unfairly, saying that other large gatherings — such as concerts and movie showings — were treated “the same as or worse than houses of worship.”
The Court’s ruling in Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v. Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada, Et Al. appears to have further accelerated conservatives’ rapidly diminishing opinion of Chief Justice Roberts.
Do you agree with Nevada’s explanation, or is the state showing its bias in favor of getting tourism dollars flowing again? As always, let us know in the comments below. And enjoy more content from Mona every day at By Mona Salama!

Roberts has to be impeached! He is destroying our constitution!
I understand far left people not caring about constitutional rights but am disgusted with Roberts creep.
I think this is unconscionable. Justice Roberts family history is conservative Christians, several whom I new as a young teenager. Very shocking!
The roberts stench of libtard support has finally commanded his termination in the supreme court with dereliction of duty to his sworn oath ! The anti-religion dem vote is satan’s whims !
Don’t forget the other 4 who put casinos above the 1st Amendment and churches.
I think it is time to impeach John Roberts. Just his ruling making Obamacare into a tax should be sufficient to remove him. And there is plenty more.
But for now, I call on all who DO believe in prayer to come before God and ask God to remove Roberts in such a way that the whole world will know it came from God. Of course, we should ask for that in Jesus’ name and ion God’s will.
John Roberts has brain damage needs to b removed if we had the right people in Congress they could overturn this stupid ruling but that’s not possible
They need to check John Roberts bank account, i’ll bet it has grown gigantic since he went liberal.
This is not about money. Who would have paid him to rule against churches? Maybe Soros? Maybe an atheist Democrat.
Look at who else is a catholic? That is right. Nancy Pelosi. Maybe it is about the catholic hypocrites becoming EVIL.
Just a theory I have, but could there be some dirt on Roberts that the liberals have that are making him dance to their tune? Just sayin…
Maybe he visited Epstein.
Capitalism at its worst.
Nothing to do with capitalism. This is about morality and POWER. So who is gaining POWER from Roberts’ rulings.
There should not be a single position in our government with a “for life” term. No one should serve this country for more than 8 years.
Limiting terms to a fair term of 8 years will limit corruption
Glenn
Exactly any and ALL of them that treat serving in the GOVT as a JOB have been there to long
time to IMPEACH some of these in the Supreme Court. if they DON’T Follow our Constitution then they hve NO business being a JUDGE anywhere.
It’s time to check Roberts’ bank accounts for “unusual” deposits.
Every church, temple, mosque, synagogue, and place of worship should ALL ban together and open to 50% capacity just like the casinos on their next day of worship. Following the guidelines for health safety and respond to these 5 judges that they answer to God, not the government, the US Constitution supports their freedom of religion . In November ,Nevada needs to replace their governor. Gods Word teaches us to conform ourselves to the things of God, not of man.
I never dreamed this idiot would end upful on the side of the liberal hateful demorats. He should be removed asap. We have enough problems in our country without this disgraceful left wing moron.
Check Roberts’ bank account! Probably a huge deposit from Soros! Just Sayin!
Impeachment should be immediate for Roberts. He has a history of legislating, (ObamaCare) without constitutional authority and failure to adjudicate.
Time for tar and feathers and a rail for John Roberts. A dumercrate liberal in republican clothing. See what you did George W. no shame? He can be impeached same as the president if they had the balls.
Roberts is a RINO, I’ve said it for years and he keeps proving me right. Ol’ johnny boy must be getting one of those Billy Fuccillo HUGE soros’ paychecks to “rule” the way he has been (either that or soros has his wife and kids as pawns)! Just another reason why congress AND supreme court justices should have the same TERM LIMITS as the potus; two terms and that’s it!
John Roberts has turned out to be a conservative turncoat turned liberal using the court to legislate liberal causes. We desperately need to have Trump win and hopefully be able to elect some real constitutional judges to counter this new progressive.
It is past time for the House of Reps to regain control of the constitutionality of issues such as this. The so-called Supreme Court was never given that duty, only drifted there because of lazy congresspersons.
I agree with the church. This is two sided justice systems. What happened to All People are Created Equal?
Iam amazed that churches have to close, or limit people coming to church to worship,
but protesters are out by the thousands in the streets and no one talks about that.
Roberts is obviously a paid prostitute for the left thus a traitor.
Roberts has decided that his oath is to how the court looks in popular opinion (and to the Washington crowd), not what’s constitutional. He’s actually said this essentially. Therefore he has no principles other than sticking his finger to the wind and trying to appease the MSM. He’s on a massive ego trip like the other smug deep stater’s. One thing we absolutely must do is deconstruct Washington physically. The Supreme Court should be relocated to Iowa, as the most politically neutral place in the country. Part of the whole swamp is how they all socialize with each other. We need to send various departments to other parts of the country (it was suggested Interior to the West where is has most lands). Maybe put the Congress in Chicago right in the middle of the worst part so they can reap what they sow.
Any religion, other than the religion of New World Order, only gets in their way of converting America into North Venezuela.
Money talks, obviously casinos generate more revenue for the state than any church would, even if it could. I see a direct violation of constitutional law, but the new normal thinks they can bend it to please their coffers. Is the new normal the new order?
Roberts has been compromised. I suspect the “John Roberts” name on the Pedo Airlines manifest may have something to do with it.
John Roberts needs to step down or be removed. He has ongoing Brain Seizures and and Brain related issues since 1997 till last month 6/2020 . He can NOT make critical decisions for America when his brain is not 100%.
If our inalienable rights can be taken or even suspended, we have no rights!
If the First Amendment can be suspended, the entire Constitution is meaningless!
But that’s what the Left wants! Anything to destroy America.
“The thief comes not but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy.”
Who are you going to support?
Roberts totally lost my respect back when he shirked his duty to strike down forced Obama Care payments by free citizens, and instead declared those payments…..taxes…a legal move that was not in his job description, but rather, Congress’s.
I voted for George Bush, but every time this character on the court violates our trust, I really begin to question Bush’s actual intent while in office, and I find I am glad Trump kicked his brother out of the way of the Presidency run….although, I know I don’t know anything about him…I find it too expensive in freedom to find out!
Chief Justice Roberts belongs to the super elitist, super globalist, Chevy Chase Club, in Chevy Chase, MD. This is the ultimate RINO, Deep State club in America. I’m sure that he and his wife don’t wish to offend their super liberal membership with conservative rulings. This is what has happened to John Roberts.
John Roberts Is Just As Corrupt As The Democrats He Should Be Put OUT Office
Impeach Roberts NOW!
Perhaps, the church elders could consider getting a gaming license, put a few poker tables in the church basement. Then keep the tables covered, use only for church lunches or receptions.
