Robes is a definition that has to do at the end of a comment that either makes no sense or has nothing to do with anything said before that. It also is used at some graduations in the North East where children scream robes as a symbol of graduation. It is used in high school and middle school.

Get the Robes mug.A POBR is an individual who purports to be an impartial judge in a court of law but is not. A true impartial judge weighs the facts and evidence and applicable statutes and laws first then forms an opinion second. A POBR starts first with their opinion which supports a personal political agenda of theirs which is then followed by a (frantic) search for some sort of legal justification. The POBR is a political activist first and may hold the title of judge, but is not a judge in the true sense of the word.
When the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided September 8, 2020 in a 5-2 decision to allow "the approval of unmanned drop boxes" and an "extension of the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots" in the 2020 Presidential election, all the Democrat state supreme court justices were doing was making it easier for the Democrats in their state to create and cast fraudulent ballots to tilt the election in favor of the Democrats. The Pennsylvania state supreme court justices are rightly maligned as POBRs (Political Operatives in Black Robes). They are not true judges. That is, they are posers. They are imposters which who have earned the harshest possible criticism.

Get the robert manion mug.21st Century US laws that restrict voter turnout among minorities and people with limited incomes.
In Shelby County v. Holder, 2013, the US Supreme Court declared parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional in a 5-4 decision. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Only justices appointed by Republican presidents voted to strike down the law.
Chief Justice Roberts later wrote in McCutcheon: There is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders.
McCutcheon removed aggregate spending limits on campaign contributions.
Linda Greenhouse @ NY Times noted: Roberts's subject then was the right to spend money in politics, not the right to vote. If people conclude that the current Supreme Court majority cares more about the first than the second — surely a logical inference — the court will have entered a dangerous place.
After Shelby, many states with a history of poll bias - previously ended by the Voting Rights Act - passed laws designed to suppress voter turnout. These laws include so-called Voter ID laws, reductions in early voting, and restricting acceptable ID to ID more often held by Republicans - for example, Texas polls accept gun licenses, but not state college ID.
In honor of Chief Justice John Roberts opinion in Shelby, and the similarity of laws that followed to Jim Crow laws, these laws are now known as John Roberts Laws, aka Voter Suppression Laws or the Republican Poll.

Republicans were embarrassed by undemocratically winning a gerrymandered House majority while losing the popular vote for it in an un-American fashion, so they declared a fake mandate and passed a bunch of John Roberts Laws to punish and disenfranchise the people who voted against them.
