Keep in mind: Justice Roberts was the guy who coordinated the protests against the 2000 FL recount

[gauguin57]

He whipped up the thugs who yelled "let us in" and freaked out the re-counters.
He got his justiceship as a quid pro quo for his "service" in getting Bush into the White House
Obama voted against him.

All of these things, to me, equal ROBERTS EFFED UP THE OATH ON PURPOSE.

1. but it only made him look ridiculous, not Obama

[A-Schwarzenegger]

2. Right, he made himself a bumbler in order to highlight Obama's grace.

It worked!

3. He seemed nervous to begin with

Maybe he has a tiny bit of guilt after all?

:shrug:

4. I think he cracked under pressure.

He knows he's screwed, and that likely he will be irrelevant for the next four, and probably eight years.

5. Also--Pres. Obama and Biden voted against his confirmation...

Methinks he's holding a wee bit of a grudge.

6. For a second I thought he wasn't even going to do it

when they announced Justice Stevens.

Then they said he'd be giving to oath the Vice President Biden.

7. Yes, he's an @sshole. n/t
