On the drive-time tonight it was reported that when the Solicitor General was preparing to respond to the initial argument made by the Arizona's legal team before the Justices at the Supreme Court this morning, that before he could say a single word, Chief Justice Roberts admonished him that the court would NOT accept any sort of argument which was based on issues involving 'racial profiling'.
How can people say that Roberts is not the biggest activist justice in the history of the Court? It was reported that during the Citizens United case that HE was the single person who forced the Court to include the idea that corporations had the rights of any other citizen under the Constitution. That idea was NEVER part of the case that the Citizens United lawyers argued before the Court. It was injected into the proceedings by Roberts himself. And remember that he refused to answer ANY questions concerning his personal views about laws or how he might consider a case. It was like he was an empty suit with no opinions or emotions about anything, and yet he's turned into perhaps one of the biggest judicial activist in the history of our nation.
