John Roberts Doesn't Give A Shit About His legacy

That used to be the lie floating around, I even considered it, that he was concerned about the image of the Supreme Court.

Fuck John Roberts, I bet he has a Nazi flag and Confederate flag in his house. I bet he has a white hoodie in his closet.

Roberts is Chief Justice, just one vote, but he is allowing this court to topple our democracy.

If this court confirms that the power of the purse has been transferred to the president then our democracy is over. President Musk may as well fire Congress because it will be toothless.

Democrats get out and do town halls. let the people know that the tiger is coming to eat their faces. Get on social media and warn them.

There are more Congressional Democrats than Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett.

Oh and John Fetterman, please return the money I donated to you. I don't know what happened but I hope they are blackmailing you and that's the reason you flipped.

They are considering whether the president can stop foreign aid or if that is not within his authority.

Following with interest. Should tell us how much the Robert's Court is willing to twist themselves to give a win to Trump.

His Federalist Society buddies, the folks at the Heritage Foundation, right wing and conservative groups across the country ADORE him.

He’s already cemented his legacy amongst the only groups he cares about.

There is a misunderstanding about what was being appealed. Its not a simple case. It isn't simply about whether the Executive Branch can do this or not. The order has only been paused for the duration of the appeal.
