Did Chief Justice John Roberts Skirt Laws When Adopting His Children?

Headlines Politics U.S.

New questions are being raised about the adoption of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ children. While the personal lives of public officials is a subject typically not covered by ITN – especially as it relates to children – the attention in this case may be warranted in light of several recent developments regarding the Chief Justice.

In 2000 Roberts worked in a limited fashion on the Bush v. Gore case, the case that went all the way to the Supreme Court (prior to Roberts’ confirmation to it) that ultimately decided the presidency for George W. Bush.

According to a Newsweek report at the time, Roberts “spent a few days in Florida advising lawyers [for Bush] on their legal strategy,” but “he did not play a central role,” because “at the time, Roberts was preoccupied with the adoption of his son.”

When Roberts was nominated for the Supreme Court by George W. Bush in 2005, press reports said Roberts and his wife had adopted two children, both from Latin America. A report in Time, however, listed the children’s place of birth as a different country.

“Jack McCay, law partner of Roberts’ wife Jane and a friend, speaks of the couple’s adoption of John (Jack) and Josephine, born in Ireland 4 1/2 months apart. As frequently happens when you go through the adoption process, some of the efforts weren’t successful, and it continued for a time. But when the opportunity came along to have not just one but two kids, they took both babies without blinking,” the article reads.

Ireland has some of the strictest laws in the world on adoption. Most relevant is that ordinarily only residents of the country (and those who have resided in the country for at least a year) can adopt Irish children.

Roberts’ wife Jane’s is the daughter of Irish immigrants and feels a strong connection to those roots. But neither she nor Roberts had lived in the country for a year prior to initiating adoption procedures.

Some also note the physical characteristics of the children as being more “conventionally Irish.”

That the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court would have skirted strict laws during the adoption of his two infant children would open him up to questions about the ability to effectively execute the duties of his office. But they would also thereby open him up to potential extortion and/or blackmail, a sentiment that is consistent with recent allegations.

In December reports came to light that a whistleblower from Federal Circuit Court told officials that a nation state has been blackmailing Chief Justice John Roberts since before his nomination to the Supreme Court. The idea that Roberts is compromised in some way is seen by many to be a plausible explanation for questionable actions the Justice has taken in his tenure.

In 2012 Roberts was set to strike down the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) but at the last moment changed his mind. His last-minute decision to cast a deciding vote with the liberal Justices ensured the controversial law was upheld.

This past December Roberts reportedly bullied the other Justices into refusing to hear a case brought by the state of Texas alleging election fraud, a case similar to the one Roberts worked on 20 years earlier for George W. Bush. Nearly every state in the Union (save four), as well as several territories, joined that case either with Texas or against it. But the Supreme Court found Texas lacked standing to bring the suit.

This past week Roberts again sided with liberal judges in dismissing election fraud cases brought by officials in Pennsylvania. The Court found in part that the complaints President Trump was making were “moot” now that he had left the White House.

Attorney Lin Wood, who has helped to litigate many of the cases on fraud in this election, says a whistleblower has come forward with evidence implicating Roberts as well as several other prominent government officials. Wood says that Roberts, among other things, arranged an illegal adoption of two young children from Wales through accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

  1. I don’t believe that Roberts’s legal decisions are worthy of discussion. It’s clear that he illegally adopted two babies from either Wales or Ireland through the world’s most notorious blackmailer and child-trafficker, a man who has likely had a hand in the sexual abuse and murder of thousands of children. That means that Roberts does not make any legal decisions based on the law or the Constitution, but rather crafts his decisions to the will of his blackmailers.

  2. The person who was the Social Worker in Wales who facilitated the abuse of these children?
