After the Supreme Court ruled that campaign finance laws preventing corporations from donating was illegal, America has changed already. Maybe some of the commenters worried about Roberts should use their dictionary and look up the word Fascism.

This was an OUTRAGE for ROL to publish a false story, which could have had consequences for the entire country. Confirm your sources from now on.

I'm sure if Chief Justice Roberts were considering stepping down, radar online, would not be his media outlet of choice. Doubtful he would want to be sandwiched between Tiger and whomever. lol
