Robert-John is an amazing person. His spirit lights up a room. You will never find anyone so perfect and adorable. His humor is above par and his loyalty is what lover's dream about. He is caring, but will put a fool in their place.

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.

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.

Guy A: "You want me doing a John Roberts, right?"
Guy B: "Yeah, that's a foolproof plan. Trust me!"
