“Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you. I will not do that, and I’ll tell you why.
From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.
I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.
Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted.
I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship.
I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion.
Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen.
And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes.”
Chief Justice Roberts at recent commencement speech
It’s interesting that a man who saw Obumma Care as Constitutional would lecture on the joys of misfortune. It’s hard enough to learn those lessons from your own mistakes, but truly awful to have them imposed by an oligarch in a black robe.
He said that unless it was called a tax, it was not Constitutional.
I don’t blame him for the abomination we call the Affordable Health Care Act.
I blame Congress.
How about a line from Nancy Reagan?
JUST SAY NO!
It’s all that fuckwad had to do.
HE was the final back stop.
Maybe Roberts can preach about the misfortune of having the deep state use the skeletons in your closet as leverage against you to make you do something you know is wrong.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Not interested in what a judicial whore has to say about anything.
We have been COMPLETELY betrayed by SCOTUS, they have allowed the trashing of our sacred documents to the point that this great country is hanging on by a thread. Had the rule of law been upheld, we would not be so violated.
Their word is that of the serpent with a forked tongue.
