[malaise]

[sunonmars]

1. Trump is going to flip right out, Roberts sided with the liberals.

[nitpicker]

7. NBC News said Roberts wrote the decision

The vote was 5-4.

The objection was that the government did not follow the steps that would be required to shut down the program (such as notices in the Federal Register, etc.).

[PRETZEL]

14. not able to see the opinions,

but was Roberts opinion just that the Trump Admin didn't follow the correct procedures or was there more substance to the decision?

[Celerity]

13. +100000

8. Wow, SCOTUS really coming through this week

Now the abortion case out of LA that seems like a no brainer.

[lagomorph777]

9. Seems they are aware of discussions about increasing the bench.

The threat of reduced power is making them behave better.

34. I Dunno, I Think Roberts is Acutely Aware of His Place In History

I see this as the evolution of the Chief Justice, or at least that's what I hope this is. Roberts is turning out better than I expected, to be fair, I expected that absolute worst, but so far, he has surprised me with these hints of conscience and boundaries. I'm more hopeful now about any cases involving Trump; Roberts may actually adjudicate fairly.

[Demovictory9]

36. the stuff the righties are saying about him... really ugly

I won't repeat it here. they can't just be against his opinion. They imply all sorts of things about his family life. Just like they did Obama.

[MoonRiver]

10. Shit Hole lost another one!

[Celerity]

17. write some lyrics to this toon

The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again

[malaise]

19. The institutions are holding - just barely but holding

He will soon be gone

[Stuart G]

16. K. and R. Thank You for the post..

[Skraxx]

18. The Judiciary. Will. Hold.

Oh thank goodness!!

[Hortensis]

32. 5-4 Roberts + liberals. I'm starting to hope...!

While there is a conservative majority there will inevitably be big losses, but still. As you say, thank goodness!

[Skraxx]

33. Yes, We Will Lose Some, But Roberts is Better Than I Expected

Not that I expected much, but I am pleasantly surprised. We will lose some big one's, but it seems he is acutely aware of his place in history, and has some moral conscience and boundaries, apparently, and that's a good thing considering any Trump case; I'm having more confidence in Roberts with regard to rulings on Trump.

[Hortensis]

35. Yes. I was deeply afraid he would go along.

Still, both these recent decisions are big blows to social and/or religious conservatives, not to the goals of economic conservatives.

I haven't been following Roberts. Do we have an idea yet how extreme he might be willing to go to join opinions created by those on the far right? His decision on the ACA was not at all the blow to big business some imagine.

[Skraxx]

37. He's Already Ruled in Favor of ACA Once

And yes, big business is now in favor of ACA, they see it's benefits. So I'm leaning towards another Roberts surprise there. Again, he's acutely aware of his place in history, this is testing his soul, and he feels it, and on the big, social questions, he's so far been doing the right thing. I feel he's truly growing and maturing with his position, it does happen. I do think we will still lose some big one's, but it seems he's not into turning the clock back socially, and that's good news.

20. This SCOTUS can occasionally be reasonable for social issues, but never on political ones.

They will back drumpf up in anything and everything that has to do with rw political power, watch them protect all his documents even though that is clearly illegal. They will lie to protect and prolong right wing fascism here, watch.

[usaf-vet]

31. Sadly i think you are right. Give a little to the Dems. Before key votes to protect Trump.

[lark]

39. Gorsuch and Roberts are doing this because they think it will protect their "legacy". HA!

We are not fooled, we know this is just a wink and a nod for something that doesn't really impact the party or the rich. When it comes to those, Roberts & Gorsuch will prove themselves to be the fascist Russian Repug (in)justices. Wonder what BS they will invent to enable drumpf to gut the constitution this time?

[usaf-vet]

41. RIGHT AGAIN!

[George II]

21. Not the Supremes, but this will do:

[malaise]

23. Sweet

[FakeNoose]

28. It's perfect!

[demmiblue]

22. Schumer's reaction was so heartwarming.

A good day, to be sure!

[DesertRat]

25. And Bunker Don is NOT happy

Link to tweet

[liberalla]

26. Yes! I was listening to npr on the way to work, and was so happy I started crying!

It really lifts my spirit!

[burrowowl]

27. Right on!

[KS Toronado]

29. So basically we had 4 repug SCOTUS judges tell DACA people to go to hell and back where they

came from because the Der Hair Furer doesn't like them because they'll vote Democrat if given the chance.

[LAS14]
