And -- Jack Kingston.
Has served Georgia's first eventually -- since 1993.
He's been that long.
That this -- -- very quickly when you're having a wonderful time with a twelve group of.
As that.
You said that like you really mean it.
-- -- You even.
Front on this response to the health -- decision and you've been tweeting and in -- what are your tweets who has.
You said that you lost you -- like you lost two great friends America and Justice Roberts.
What -- Roberts was a friend and he's Chief Justice not supposed to be your friend.
But -- so you've lost.
-- you know I mean you know supposed to have Roberts in your pocket he's not supposed to be partisan right he's not supposed to decide things along party lines.
Well Alan I think what's frustrated too -- conservatives is that they become somebody gets the life -- appointment they become.
Many deep thoughtful and involved with walking in and certainly they see things that they've never solved that com.
And that.
Would start moving to the lab -- -- had -- -- it to your side credit you never see.
They Ginsburg our -- and start move in to vote with Clarence Thomas.
And to the extent that John Roberts -- the front of the conservative conservative.
There was a -- that.
-- is a way you are you is that fair to say based on one decision.
Doug -- yeah I mean obviously his life as a Supreme Court justice has many years to go and he'll be judged on balance many years from now not based on one decision.
But you know I think that this was such a litmus test -- citizens that it just makes I think all of -- Uncertain for the future you know that I mean from a conservative standpoint.
We can all the dual -- Presidency and of the Sunday in the conservative family could you know.
He brought the war that was questionable expansion of Medicare.
Part.
No Child Left Behind the beat talk -- -- bail out.
And -- conservatives can count of the obvious.
But the one thing that you -- -- Was that one of his great -- he really was the appointment of John Robert and we felt like.
You have this toward being guarded.
And this -- the guy who will be there with Scalia.
And Clarence Thomas in terms of more solid in the laps what could.
-- -- saying -- he's always expected to vote a certain way based on who nominated him and that's never been the way.
The court has worked.
Well I don't know cases where people like Dayton but -- Ginsburg.
Have moved into the right and in -- -- -- -- that might be conservatives should upon ourselves who ultimately admit it but.
In conservative plan we looked at bill like these.
-- move into the left they want to be lied they want to be admired him.
He owed the right wing a different decision.
I think he.
Device when a conservative less government decision one that far more competition I found it I think he's he's.
You know -- -- kind of a -- -- -- and now.
That it can't let alone time twenty years now and occasionally -- -- sport and you know I'm not the hard line -- you know I am certainly not New York standard but compared to these.
The bright red southern site.
I'm a little bit more -- -- -- here in Georgia though -- not exactly known to be a liberal progressive state rice and other than maybe Atlanta.
Like that but here's my opinion I have found a lot of times in my twenty years of buzz in that there are times when -- did help more.
And I don't have time this study of bill will play out what -- to.
And so when in doubt I looked up that the board and not trying to get some verification.
That is.
Maxine Waters -- my good friend and nom to Clinton wrote to the -- it.
See you go the other way one way.
Let's see what Maxine Waters is doing and on and they should do the opposite.
Yeah well.
But I decided when in doubt check -- the color of your jurors who did was visit read where you where your whole.
But but the justices and this is this is what it really really code gonna talk about because and I'm glad -- -- -- -- invitation to his justices are not supposed to be.
Red or blue that's not what the way the Supreme Court supposed to operate.
But you know I don't know that it he has a red and blue argument and that's where it -- crumble I think -- the Obama administration effectively.
Had protected itself by attack in the Supreme Court with charges.
Well Robert and everybody Syria -- flat keys they -- part in the.
And -- -- -- Roberts folded based on liberal criticism you think -- that vulnerable to what.
Liberals might say that he would make a decision based.
On that.
I am concerned.
I will say that there that think that he he was.
Possibly.
Motivated this he felt like god that you know -- that I'm at the root threat.
The the focus has always been on the common cause the president of the United States repeatedly.
Happened the healthcare bill that.
This has not attacked and then you know around that and all over.
The direct quote.
That is completed -- and say this is not a tactic that is not a.
So the Supreme Court decided it is by the way Romney care was attacked Romney himself that it was attacked and when Romney says he didn't raise taxes in Massachusetts.
If that's going to be attacks and they're gonna call Obama tax raiser for this.
It's they can they can't be a double standard right.
Well I think that Islam -- will be -- that I suppose he would.
Answer is going to be you know what.
We look at it it doesn't work and individual mandate well I thought it was good -- -- level.
It has not decrypt the -- that -- out here in Massachusetts.
It has increased the acceptability.
Which was an objective but -- -- not.
-- is claimed otherwise he claimed it actually helped any actually at the time he's in many times.
-- what did happen in Massachusetts -- via a national model the role model for seven nationally that's what campaign that the.
Governor of Massachusetts the existing Geithner who was inherited the long run of Omnicare has.
We have not brought down the -- the health care.
Does Romney was a failed governor -- right.
Well -- I think you could say as it was yet over and over again in the primary he's gonna have to answer and explain but -- Which is -- on over the that -- question about that.
And that Barkley -- That he's going to be -- in more and more about.
This bill the economy and the eight point 2% unemployment right involved this big and -- -- But but you know talent that some of -- you know for an amount yes there's frustration.
And conservative plan.
In that we see one of our own and while.
To get back your question I absolutely agree that these judges are supposed be political but the reality is.
They are still -- in the liberal president appoints liberal objectives for a reason you the president -- somebody -- the world that yeah.
Yeah that's Ryan.
And you know but it in -- -- side.
And get that the product packages that we couldn't get.
-- well.
You know I'm I'm sure that they'll be many decisions to come where John Roberts will be in your camp.
And you when -- and they'll be liberals quite of selling them on.
May you know you would you in retrospect not -- well you didn't get that it and you would you do not have supported him and in retrospect.
I would not have.
You know one of the great tweets yesterday and I think it was Andy card are always auditors did it would period -- -- -- mr.
