'Invitation to villainy': Chief Justice John Roberts accused of causing huge political war David McAfee August 9, 2025 7

Published August 9, 2025 7:57 PM ET

The current war over gerrymandering in Texas, California, and other states is the result of Chief Justice John Roberts' Supreme Court, according to a legal expert.

James Sample, a professor of constitutional law at Hofstra University, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to discuss Texas GOP "re-redistricting," and other key topics.

Sample described what he called an "underemphasized" point regarding the current "chaos": the Supreme Court caused it.

History is not going to be kind to him .

Citizens United and Dobbs and the Trump immunity ruling are arguably three of the five worst decisions in US history.

I’d still rank Roger Tanney (Dredd Scott) as by far the worst, followed closely by Melville Fuller (Plessy v Ferguson).

Robertsis probably the worst in the modern era - maybe in the last hundred years.
