John Roberts: Supreme Court Nomination Hearings from PBS NewsHour and EMK Institute 

Coughing more than once while a hearing is ongoing. Wow!

78/22 is still better than what we had for the last 2 hearings.

Thank you for posting this, EMKInstitute.

I'm liberal but if you pulled a generic judge out of a box you'd get John Roberts. He looks so judicial looking lol. He'd also look like a good James Bond actor for the 1970s.

Why does this look much older than it is I was born in 94 and to me 2005 felt like yesterday to me watching this makes me feel old wtf

I seriously underestimated this chief justice

My dad had crystal blue eyes like that, they would seem like they were looking right through you. He was one of the nicest men anyone has ever met.

Thankyou for sharing this video on youtube.

I lol'd at the James Bond comment haha.

Gosh. I can see why he is Chief Justice. He actually seemed to be enjoying the hearing, unlike most, because he is so knowledgeable and was obviously well prepared. 👍

Notice he carried out his entire hearings without notes. That is insane. Semper Fi.

7:50. Roberts takes Lehey's question and shoves it up his ass. Classic Roberts, a man who was literally pre-programmed to be Chief Justice of the United States. He could play 007 if he had a British accent. He's also the coolest member in all the Federal Government. His questions in Oral Arguments are brilliant, legitimate, and IMPOSSIBLE to answer. Awesome. Cars.

note the judicial demeanor ...

When JR answers a question, you’re not sure if he answered it and you missed it, or if he just dodged the question.

Thank you🙏 for your support

Book and movie!

💘

The Country should Honour God and trust him do his will according unto to his will

Ed Kennedy was bang on target. Affirmative action, Voting Rights Act.

Roberts, the earnest conservative turncoat.

And Debra L. Givens non appointed Custody In Hearing on Family Matters

Chief Justice Roberts is a patriot and an excellent lawyer. Anybody who says any different because they disagree with ONE (and only one) of his opinions (and probably didn't even read that one opinion) is severely uninformed and/or misguided.

John Roberts is the best

hi Doctor

they're all smart as hell. to get that job, you have to be.

Thanks you allot supreme Court John Robert for everything allot years allot memory

My comment wasn't intended to be negative; my comment isn't criticizing/attacking his ideology/philosophy. That's just the first thing I think when I see Justice Roberts...

My God, how the hell did Kenny continue to win reelection?

Damn! He's good looking! Those eyes! Oh my God...😍

@AntonBatey That is part of the reason he's Chief Justice - he's able to talk to people and he comes off as reasonable, a good leader for the Court, much like Rehnquist was. (I remember reading Rehnquist's Roe dissent - it is a dissent but reasonable and based on good arguments, as opposed to, say, Scalia's dissent in the Casey case, which is just a moral outrage-style tirade.)

i think that dissent was actually a tirade AGAINST moral judgements made by judges on the supreme court.

Ted Kennedy was truly awful. I guess he couldn’t find a ridiculous reason to force John Roberts off the court like he did with his despicable actions during the Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination hearings. Good riddance to him.

I'm sick of taking care of everyone.

4:50 “It is not enough to think the prior decision was wrongly decided”

That gotcha smile

Damn Arlen specter chairing as a republican. Jeff sessions and Russ feingold on committee too. All three would be taken to the woodshed by voters in primary or the general in their last election (s)

POLI SCI GANG

He is unbelievable. He just pushes buttons in his brain .

Roberts is great, but he oversimplifies when he says judges are like umpires, calling "balls and strikes." In many cases they're forced to do more than that. When the intended meaning of a statute or clause of the constitution is unclear in general, or as applied to the facts of a case, they have to fill in those gaps with their "judgment." If things were simply balls and strikes, we'd hardly need appellate judges at all.

why do they ask every potential Justice about Roe.?. when they know darn well they can not answer as it may and will come up in the Supreme Court again and again.

Even Judge Roberts can express his opinion with straight forwardness.

#1 NOW IS A PERFECT TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT *TERM LIMITS FOR ALL FEDERAL JUDGES *THE REAL-ISSUE CONCERNING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES = 3/4 OF A CENTURY FOR ONE MIND-SET ON A BENCH IS JUST TOO LONG!!! This is predicated on the answer to the question: Why are POLITICIANS from both parties clamoring so fervently to nominate Justices to all of the Federal Court benches? The answer to that question provides a clear understanding of how Americans have come to view our Federal Judges, and that is, as an arm of each political party, respectively. And the main follow-through on this fact is that Judges these days are more-than-willing to issue partisan rulings these days. This is in fact, realized, in the many rulings that have been issued from the various benches, from the lower Courts, right up through the Applet Courts, and through to the Supreme Court of these Lands. Just look at the resent Florida Court ruling on the "restoration of felon's right's to vote in elections. Consider the referendum-vote of the people of Florida, who voted overwhelming to give those rights back to those felons who have served their time for crimes committed." The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, in his plight to manipulate the voter-ranks in the 2020 election, devised a plan to withhold the restoration of those felon's rights by arbitrarily imposing the requirement that those felons must pay back any fines before being able to vote. Moving through the court system, the claims of those felons, that this was not the People's Will, was dismissed by (Republican favored) Applet Judges, in favor of the voter-suppressing Republican Governor. This sort of ruling is plainly clear that Federal Judges are becoming increasingly partisan with their rulings. This could come back to find the Republican ranks on the other side of such future partisan rulings. So this is the solution: "We need to find a way to take partisanship out of our judicial system, the way it was intended in the first place. We need Term Limits for our Federal Judges, and a reform of the process of which they are appointed to the Benches" I believe, with the modern political climate, it will be impossible to solve, that is, within the process justices are appointed today. I believe the American People would be better served if our Judges were VOTED onto the benches by both branches of the government: House and the Senate. Most importantly, I believe LIFE APPOINTMENTS to the Bench is severely problematic for the Republic. Three quarters of a century could go by, having a partisan Justice sitting on the bench skewing rulings that only make sense to a small number of American Citizens. This has to change if we are to have a better system of government. The course we are on now will only render the US looking more and more like Belarus of today.

Def looks like a James Bond. Only good looking man in Washington. If you want to read the difinitive book on the choices and confirmations of Roberts and to a lesser extent, Alito, read Jan Crawford (Greenburg at the time)'s book Supreme Conflict. Clearly Thomas was a great source for the book, and they are very good friends, but the book is non-fiction, brilliant, and reads like a novel. Took me 3 hours to read it and I never put it down. Cars.

UNWORKABLE ????

As a clerk, Roberts mostly drew dull cases to review - a disputed cattle transaction, the rightful tax status of a corporate hunting lodge - but later that year, when he took a prestigious new job as an assistant to Reagan’s attorney general, William French Smith, he would have much to say about the Mobile decision. Because the Voting Rights Act was coming up for renewal, a bipartisan group of senators and House members had taken the opportunity to work out a fix to undo the Supreme Court’s Mobile decision as part of the renewal package. The new rule would explicitly allow judges to find fault with any election law that resulted in minority disenfranchisement, no matter the intention. As a corrective to “proof of intent,” this “results test,” as it was known, would significantly strengthen the Voting Rights Act. Many career civil rights attorneys at the Justice Department had no problem with the new rule. But Reagan’s political appointees, Roberts among them, had a new argument with profound implications: Justice should be colorblind. Roger Clegg, a lawyer who worked with Roberts during the Reagan years, described this new ethos in notably idealistic-sounding terms: “It’s a very bad thing for this country to have race-based decision making in any public transaction.” It was the sort of argument that dismayed career civil rights attorneys. “In their zest for the colorblind society they professed to see, they didn’t recognize that the long couple hundred years of segregation and discrimination continued to have present-day effects,” one of those attorneys, J. Gerald Hebert, told me. “I would say they had a fundamental lack of understanding of the 14th and 15th Amendments, and what Congress could do under those amendments - I still don’t think Roberts understands it.”

This guy is incredibly smart

Give me back my corrided report federally mandates and institution code of privacy and draft that they detained my son with and use the clause to incarcerate me for a whole year

Supra supreme and ibid id.

Have Tom DeLonge play John Roberts in a movie 😂

78 22. Damn

He

John Roberts is nothing compared to Rehnquist.

the government has always had the ability to tax you on anything they wished! That's what they do! I don't like Obamacare, but I don't have as much of a problem with Roberts ruling as I do with the Congress and President who passed the law.

We need to teach Latin again, to strengthen the understanding of the constitution

It would have been so cool if there would have been a Kennedy dash cam at Chapafuckingquidick

but i'm not sure we'll survive this fever running its course.... we need some Advil. We the sheeple have to wake up and stay awake. Too much entertainment is distracting us into a slumber. Our enemies are not sleeping, they've filled every Institution in the country....

He looks like Larry Hagman who played JT in Dallas... He has the same ethics as well..

I like Roberts, but his eyes seemed oddly bulging in some shots

he has to look up to stare decisis in the dictionary? I knew what that was in 12th grade.

Lolita expresssssssssssssssssssss

If you can legally claim an item of property as an extension of self. Why not sperm? That's why legally you should be entitled to know about the woman's abortion

I mean armitageallembert is a fool....CHECK

Giving answers without an answer.

Chief Justice Roberts was quite the handsome man!

Precedence is only surpassed by law ! If the congress passes a law and the POTUS signs, any precedence can be overturned ! # MAGA

John Roberts is well qualified

Dose that mean the judge would protect Obama on exertive privilege

I wish people would just learn to live with the fact that abortion will always be legal in this country. I am sick and fucking tired of hearing about it every 2 years. We have much more pressing issues to deal with in this country.

Isn't he a rino?

Thank God for Stare Decisis and thank God for Chief Justice John G Roberts

dude.....ted kennedy is so red in the face.....he needs to take a chill pill......he has some serious anger issues.....

This philosophy was not adhered to in deciding the case on Union Agency Fees. That decision will completely disrupt settled labor agreements in all fifth states.

He has made so many anti conservative and textualist voted but the liberal judges have NEVER voted with the right on major political issues

Even then, Sessions spoke like an idiotic snake oil salesman. imagine this guy in any position.

This guy is rhino.. what a shame...

Somewhere in hell, Stalin is looking up and smiling.

What a disappointment he's become. Thanks W!

John Roberts has been the man on the fence. I had much higher expectations from this guy. GW really nominated a fish in this guy. He flips more than anyone in recent history. "they call him Flipper..."

World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war. This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it. The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic. It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation-to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love. The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon. Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule-the ego or love-the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way. The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it. Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people. In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love..

15 years later and the senate representatives are mostly the same. INTRODUCE TERM LIMITS!!!!

He doesn't have to answer to you kid. He did not act in a partisan manner. He acted based on his interpretation of the constitution. You do not know the constitution better than him. Your criticism of him is meaningless, ill-informed, and misplaced.

Roberts gave a yes to abortion

Give me back my son California white house council city representative they are now saying they don't know where he went

This guy LIED! He said his job was not to make law but to call balls and strikes! When ObamaCare came before the Court he didn’t call balls and strikes he made up his own game!

the entire thing pisses me off as well, and I do have a problem with the tax. Look at the income tax, how is that constitutional? Seriously, we just grew up with it so it seems normal, but that is the most intrusive of taxes we could imagine. You work and have to pay a tax on your income!? We cannot expect judges to do jack squat about it, we need to empty Congress of its 'progressives'.

Those tweeked eyes,,,

Love to hear the jurist; these politicians are an absurd joke.

What a pathetic joke of a justice.

We need to overrule roe

The house should have a prayer before these very hatred Political science to ,help judges and lawyers to destroyed evil power and honour God

Biggest mistake ever!

Turned out a true Dem.

So happy to see Senator Kennedy just pretending to read his way through this. Congratulations to everyone who voted for him.

Conservatives: Nominate a brilliant legal mind who is so fair-minded and so well-qualified that no one can deny he deserves confirmation. Then stand back and let him do his job. Result: One or two conservatives usually go wobbly and the so-called conservative court won't make a conservative decision. Liberals : Nominate someone who isn't brilliant but will vote the right way every time. 2020: Conservatives learn from history.

I have honestly never understood the Radical Left's Obsession with Abortion and Roe v Wade. I try to understand but it escapes me. As Jordan Peterson said it's clearly wrong. You wouldn't want somebody that you love have one....
