'''John G. Roberts, Jr.''' (January 27, 1955) is the 17th and current Chief Justice of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] (2005-). He was appointed by [[President]] [[George W. Bush]] to replace [[William Rehnquist]] as Chief Justice, after having served on the Court of Appeals for the [[D.C. Circuit]].  Chief Justice Roberts provided the pivotal 5th vote to uphold [[ObamaCare]] on the unexpected grounds that he found it to be a tax, rather than a proper exercise of [[Commerce Clause]] authority. According to [[WikiLeaks]], [[John Podesta]] blackmailed him into supporting [[Obamacare]].<ref>http://www.dailywire.com/news/10175/wikileaks-hillary-ally-spoke-campaign-about-frank-camp</ref>

On November 21, 2018, the Chief Justice Roberts issued an unusual rebuke of President [[Trump]]'s reference to an "[[Obama]] judge," even though Trump's comments were supported by a statistical analysis of forum-shopping by the [[Left]] in their lawsuits against Trump, and the decisions in those cases.  President Trump immediately responded with tweets criticizing the Chief Justice and pointing to the evidence.<ref>https://www.apnews.com/c4b34f9639e141069c08cf1e3deb6b84</ref> However, Roberts did not issue such a statement after Obama criticized Supreme Court justice [[Samuel Alito]] for ruling in a way the former disapproved of.<ref>Lim, Naomi (November 21, 2018).
