John Roger

is secure and confident, but not arrogant. That means he treats everyone with respect until they give him a reason not to. He knows that giving respect and agreement are not the same, and the key is to treat people with kindness, humility, and grace.

You are being a John Roger.

John Roberts Laws 

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.

Pulling a John Rogers 

"Pulling a John Rogers" means when you agree to go somewhere with friends, you cancel at the last minute or sometimes after the event has started. It is generally in association with some unforeseen circumstance like your sister was planning on flying into town and you just found out about it 20 minutes ago. Canceling usually takes the form of a text message. In rare instances, a phone call or email/instant message will occur.

"He's 15 minutes late....he must be pulling a John Rogers again" - look at phone, sees text message: "Sorry guys, I can't make it".

Or, 30-60 minutes before meeting for dinner, someone in the group will receive the following text/email/IM "Sorry guys, I can't make it - I PROMISE I'll be there for the next game".

John Roberts

GWB's choice for the Supreme Court to replace Sandra O'Connor. An extremely intelligent yet cunning conservative who appears to have been planning for the bench all his life by hiding his true beliefs and intentions. To the delight of the conservatives, Roberts appears to be anti-choice and pro-religion. It's highly likely that Robert will be the key to overturning Roe v. Wade in the future.

Bush picked John Roberts because the later has little track record for pundits to analyze and take apart.

john rogers 

A simple man with simple tastes. He enjoys petting his dog, salami tacos, chicken strips, Netflix and long walks by the river. He always tries to go to bed on time and never goes to parties.

Stop acting like a John Rogers! ( A young man who acts old).
