The vice president’s rare rebuke of Roberts signals that the nation’s high court is a 2020 election campaign issue for the White House. “We have great respect for the institution of the Supreme Court of the United States, but Chief Justice John Roberts has been a disappointment to conservatives whether it be the Obamacare decision or whether it be a spate of recent decisions all the way through Calvary Chapel,” Pence told Christian Broadcasting Network’s (CBN) David Brody.
