My husband just ran up the stairs and turned on Fox News, saying he just heard something terrible…the last time he did that was on 9/11.
Here’s what Hot Air is reporting:
According to Radar Online, the next Supreme Court justice to step down won’t be John Paul Stevens or Ruth Bader Ginsburg after all. Claiming an exclusive scoop from unnamed sources, they say that the next resignation will be that of conservative Chief Justice John Roberts — which would allow Barack Obama to significantly change the tenor of the nation’s top court.
John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is seriously considering stepping down from the nation’s highest court for personal reasons, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Roberts, known for his conservative judicial philosophy, has served on the Supreme Court since 2005, having been nominated by President George W. Bush after the death of former Chief William Rehnquist.
RadarOnline.com has been told that Roberts, 55, could announce his decision at any time.
Drudge contacted a court source, who said, “This is not happening … It’s news to me.”
Let’s hope so…Often these rumors turn out to be completely false…but sometimes they turn out to be true….and God help us if it is.
Let’s pray the Radar’s sourcing is just bad. For the Dems to control all three branches of the government at this time would be a catastrophe for the country.
UPDATE:
Radar retracted the story. PHEW!

Oh my God….that would be absolutely horrid. He’s only been there 5 years. He’s not even old……I sure hope this is a stupid rumor. Surely he would know how catastrophic that could be !
