Re: Trump Says Places of Worship Are ‘Essential Se
UPC in California appealed to US Supreme Court over state's alleged authority to limit number of attendees. Chief Justice Roberts (the conservative?) cast his lot in with Darth Vader Ginsberg's unholy crew to deny the church a hearing. Thankfully conservative Presidents appoint conservative Supreme Court judges who then work to protect freedom of religion in America. Right?
Here's a brief bio on conservative justice Roberts:
After graduating from law school, Roberts first clerked for Judge Henry Friendly of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit from 1979 to 1980, then clerked for Justice (later Chief Justice in 1986) William Rehnquist of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1980 to 1981.[13] After his clerkships, Roberts began working for the U.S. government in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, first from 1981 to 1982 as a special assistant to William French Smith, the U.S. Attorney General, then from 1982 to 1986 as an associate with the White House Counsel.[13]
In 1986, Roberts entered private law practice in Washington, D.C., as an associate at the law firm Hogan & Hartson (now Hogan Lovells) and worked in the field of corporate law.[20] As part of Hogan & Hartson's pro bono practice, he worked behind the scenes for gay rights advocates, reviewing filings and preparing arguments for the 1996 Supreme Court case Romer v. Evans, which was described in 2005 as "the movement's most important legal victory". Roberts also argued on behalf of the homeless, a case which became one of Roberts's "few appellate losses."[21] Another pro bono matter was a death penalty case in which he represented John Ferguson, who was convicted of killing eight people in Florida.[22][23]
In 1989, Roberts joined the administration of newly elected president George H. W. Bush as Principal Deputy Solicitor General.[13] He served as the acting solicitor general for the purposes of at least one case when the sitting solicitor general, Ken Starr, had a conflict of interest.[24][25] In 1992, Bush nominated Roberts to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, but no Senate vote was held, and Roberts's nomination expired at the end of the 102nd Congress.[26]
Roberts left the Office of the Solicitor General in 1993 following Bush's defeat by Bill Clinton in the 1992 U.S. presidential election, and returned to Hogan & Hartson as a partner. He became the head of the firm's appellate practice, and also became an adjunct professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center. During this time, Roberts argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court, prevailing in 25 of them.[27] He represented 19 states in United States v. Microsoft.[7] - from wikipedia
He was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2005 by Shrub.
More Republican-conservativism at work! Remember: VOTE HARDER NEXT TIME!
