DOJ is doing what it must in this brief, and we may even find out they didn’t go far enough in lopping off pieces of the case to fit the procrustean bed of Roberts’ opinion. But it’s still a little nauseating to see that awful and radical conceptual framework folded into workmanlike legal writing.
The case is still very much alive. Trump v. United States doesn't help Donald Trump very much. We see that in Jack Smith's filing. It's a brilliant brief. Here's a review: www.youtube.com/live/qec2PWX...
Just fucking sickening
Strong "Nixon claiming that when the President does it, it's not illegal" vibes.
at some point, the roberts majority is going to have to eat their vegetables. Ideally, it gets dismantled, but that takes luck and time. My only hope in the short term is that the application of this “framework” is such a shitshow that roberts is so embarrassed that he goes back to the two step
Robert's and Co knew exactly what they were doing and encouraging when they handed that decision down.
The Robert’s doctrine seems like the old Nixon doctrine, If the president did it, it’s not illegal.
Mildly ironic that the conservative urge for privatization is what made the plot illegal.
