Is Chief Justice Roberts a Player?

It is one thing to have been a wishy-washy, middle of the road crowd-pleaser like like Justice Kennedy, but Chief Justice Roberts seems to be playing his own Game of Thrones without any discernible judicial philosophy. First, he plays word games to uphold the ACA in order to preserve a campaign issue against President Obama, then he denies President Trump a perfectly legitimate question about Citizenship for the 2020 Census.

Where is he coming from? The answer that comes to mind is that he wants to be a political player, playing both sides against each other (a la James Comey). In a way, this may be more disturbing than an unyielding adherence to one's personal judicial philosophy.

Would you like another ideologue? Maybe McConnell would be your choice? The fact is that Roberts gave the GOP a nice plume in giving the States the power to redistrict, and place all minorities into a design of a three- legged elephant with a trunk a mile long.

Probably very young ones too

Roberts made a legally sound decision. There was no compelling reason by the current Admin given for adding the question at this late date.

No compelling reason? Do you know what the census is used for? It's how they decide how many Congressional seats the different States receive...the more people counted in the census in your State...the more Congressional seats you get. Why do you think California has so many seats in Congress? That's the reason Democrats don't want that question too be on the census! They don't want those illegals to be excluded from the counts because that will almost certainly cost them seats in Congress!

But excluding "the illegals" to reduce Calif's House Seats violates the 14th amend.

How does that violate the 14th amendment? If they are illegals then that means they weren't born here or haven't become legalized citizens. They have no right to representation in Congress.

The 14th amendment states that the WHOLE population counts towards the apportionment of representatives, not just citizens.

Are Native Americans, Citizens of the Various Native American Nations, counted for purposes of representation?

They are considered Citizens of their individual Tribes.

Care to explain that?

If only they were mentioned specifically in the 14th...

oh wait, they were!

I realize nothing, not even the text, of the 14th could dissuade you from your quest that illegal aliens should not count for apportionment.

I think he knows that. And the courts have been generally consistent in saying if you don't like the fact that the 14th says people subject to the law of the us get counted, your avenue is repeal the 14th or just deport them.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.

It does not say people here Illegally who can be deported.

We both know that without Illegals, the nonliving and outright fraud, the democrat Party would be down to 4 Senators and maybe 12 Congressmen

Let's try this...same thing I have advised your fellow sheep to do.

Go back to school, get your GED and learn what the word "WHOLE" means.

Once you have done that, come back and we can talk
