Episode notes
Roberts' Paradox
- Chief Justice John Roberts' decisions are often motivated by a desire to avoid controversy.
- This avoidance, however, frequently leads to unintended controversy, as seen in his abortion rulings.
Inconsistent Application of *Stare Decisis*
- Roberts' inconsistency in applying stare decisis reveals his true motive: to avoid controversy by siding with the left.
- This approach undermines legal principles and ultimately creates more instability.
Rewriting Laws, Empowering the Left
- Roberts' tendency to rewrite laws to avoid striking them down, as seen with Obamacare and the CFPB, undermines the separation of powers.
- This approach ultimately empowers the left and erodes constitutional principles.
