... is the most grotesquely corrupt Supreme Court in living memory. The Sinister Six are all in for Trump's total destruction of American democracy, the imposition of Feudalism 2.0 as a business model, and the ruthless subjugation of women, including their right to even vote, as an object lesson and warning to the rest of the American public as to what they can expect if they choose to defy, or even question, any of Trump's increasingly insane and blatantly unconstitutional Executive Orders.
History will not be kind to Chief Justice Roberts, or any of the conservative swine supporting this obscene travesty.

... but based on past performance. Circumstantial though it may be, the evidence is considerable. Tribetime summed it up quite well.
When it comes to voting rights, I wouldn't trust Roberts and his minions any further than I can throw my truck. And I'm pretty damned strong for 78.
