(Editor’s Note:  Found the below post when reading headlines over at WhatReallyHappened dot com. The headline reads “How Roberts was blackmailed to support ObamaCare” and it was written by a poster at the Liberty Caucus blog who goes by the user name “Trip.”  This poster has done some digging into Supreme Court Justice John Roberts adoption of two Irish children born months apart by two different mothers, which in and of itself is fairly benign, but there is a problem, the laws governing adoption in Ireland are clear–“all adoptions go through [a] government board, An Bord Uchtala” including what American’s call “private adoption.”  Yet, the Roberts adopted these two children through an unspecified Latin American country. If, and this is a really BIG IF, but if the Robert’s adoption of these two children circumvented Ireland’s laws by having the mothers transported to a Latin American country with friendly adoption laws to give birth, well then the Chief Justice may have very well have broken a few laws and IF, again, this is a really BIG IF, if someone in DC learned of these facts who is to say they may not be using them to blackmail the Chief Justice? We know former Illinois Sen. Ryan’s sealed divorce records mysteriously became public when he was running against Mr. Obama in 2004. Who is to say a similar tactic wasn’t used to convince Roberts to be the swing vote that brought us Obamacare? It’s as good a theory as any other. Roberts did switch his vote at the last minute…why?)

Posted at the Liberty Caucus blog by Trip – How Roberts Was Blackmailed To Support ObamaCare

Many of us have asked ourselves why Roberts  switched his vote on ObamaCare at the last minute, as reported by CBS, and did so,  so late that the Conservative Justices were forced to rewrite their majority opinion to be minority dissent. These facts may answer that question.

In 2000 Justice Roberts and his wife Jane adopted two children. Initially it was apparent that the adoptions were “from a Latin American country”, but over time it has become apparent that the adopted children were not Latin American, but were Irish.  Why this matters will become evident.

In 2005 the NY Times began investigating Roberts life as a matter of his nomination to the Supreme Court by George Bush.  The Times was shortly accused of trying to unseal the adoption papers and intending to violate  the anonymity of the adoption process… however there is more to the story.

Drudge did an article in 2005

• The NEW YORK TIMES is looking into the adoption records of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
• The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate the status of adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.

  – Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.

  – Both children were adopted from Latin America.

  – A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoption papers are part of the paper’s “standard background check.”

  – Bill Borders, NYT senior editor, explains: “Our reporters made initial inquiries about the adoptions, as they did about     many other aspects of his background. They did so with great care, understanding the sensitivity of the issue.”

Were the Children Adopted from Ireland?

This is not clear … — the Associated Press reports that they were “adopted from Latin America.” This seems a bit puzzling, in light of the Time magazine report indicating that the children were born in Ireland. Also, their blonde hair and fair skin do not seem conventionally Latin American. ¹

TIME had a “web exclusive” on the Robert’s (7/24/05) and quoted a family friend as stating the kids were “born in Ireland 4 1/2 months apart.”

How were the Children Adopted?

According to The New York Times, based on information from Mrs. Robert’s sister, Mary Torre, the children were adopted through a private adoption.

As explained by Families for Private Adoption, “[p]rivate (or independent) adoption is a legal method of building a family through adoption without using an adoption agency for placement. In private adoption, the birth parents relinquish their parental rights directly to the adoptive parents, instead of to an agency.”²

But was Robert’s adoption utilizing “a legal method”?

Apparently the process of adopting Jack involved some stress for John Roberts. According to Dan Klaidman of Newsweek, during the contested 2000 election, Roberts “spent a few days in Florida advising lawyers [for George W. 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.”

It is now quite evident that the two Children were from Ireland.  Even wikipedia references these adoptions at the time of Roberts’ confirmation, and indicates that the children were of Irish birth.

However Irish law 1) prohibits the adoption of Children to non-residents, and 2) also does not permit private adoptions, but rather has all adoptions go through a public agency.

This would explain the children’s origin from a “Latin American country”, so as to circumvent Irish law.

Evidently Roberts arranged for this adoption through some sort of trafficking agency, that got the children out of Ireland and into that Latin American country, from which they were adopted, thereby circumventing two Irish laws — entirely illegal, but perhaps quasi-legitimized by the birth mothers (two) transporting the children out of Ireland.
