Pence Swipes at Chief Justice John Roberts: ‘A Disappointment to Conservatives’

Vice President Mike Pence does not seem too happy with ⚖️Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

Pence did not hold back during an interview with CBN News, as he specifically named Roberts in expressing the “disappointment” with the ⚖️Supreme Court chief justice.

“We have great respect for the institution of the ⚖️Supreme Court of the United States but Chief Justice Roberts has been a disappointment to conservatives,” Pence said when asked if Roberts had let down conservatives.

In June, Roberts sided with four liberal justices in a 5-4 ruling that struck down a Louisiana law that would have put restrictions on doctors who perform abortions, as IJR previously reported — a move that drew outrage from conservatives.

As The New York Times reported at the time, Roberts had “voted with the court’s liberal wing in three major cases: on job discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers, on a program protecting young undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers and now on abortion.”
