/7 Justice Roberts smug and superior dismissal of the dissents’ concerns seems to come to us via time warp from some time that never knew Trump. The danger of lawlessness he poses are manifest — he and his followers brag of them. Only a liar or fool would dismiss them.

He's neither, he's an accomplice

This. Roberts pretending that the dissent is “fear mongering… hypotheticals,” when it’s about an actual coup attempt.

Yeah this is really the thing that is the most unbelievable of all. This isn’t some kind of theoretical law school exercise. This is a real case about real conduct that has already happened and been promised to happen again. They know exactly what the implications are - and they welcome them.

I cannot believe that he does not understand what Trump is and what he’ll do. I have to believe it’s an act to allow his own fantasy of a theocracy to play out.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

With the Immunity decision and the Chevron decision, President and Supreme Court are now more powerful than Congress. Robert's is patronizingly dismissive of the minority argument. The President can now kill someone or reverse an election with impunity. We can't ask for evidence or motive. A coup?

it is because roberts thinks january 6 was good and normal

There's a very good reason Roberts made this ruling. He is as paid to.

They are so over the whole rule of law thing. And so confident that Biden won’t use the ruling to drag them all to gitmo.
