Chief Justice Roberts Hands Trump the Keys to Power

3. Good article, scary title! 😋

This article is a very good summary of the most awful things Roberts has done to enable Schlump, and I thank you for sharing it. But omg, the title scared the hell out of me for a moment there!

When I saw the words "Chief Justice Roberts Hands Trump the Keys to Power," my first thought was "Oh no, what has Roberts done NOW?" Then I read the article and felt just a teeny bit better ... for now. The article is scary, but at least it's stuff I already knew about, and not a brand new piece of horrifying news.

I had never thought about the progression before, from Citizens United through Shelby County v. Holder and the Colorado case to United States v. Trump, and now I see how it all fits together and how each of those cases built on the previous ones. And now here we are, faced with the cumulative results of all those rulings!

I was ever so slightly encouraged by the way Roberts recently spoke out against Schlump calling for the impeachment of any judge whose rulings the president happens not to like. It was very unusual for Roberts to do something like that, and I hope (while NOT holding my breath) that may be a sign that he may be just barely beginning to get a tiny inkling of the kind of monster he helped to create. Time will tell.
