Mother Jones: This is All John Roberts' Fault

[appmanga]

5. In the same way Clarence Thomas has been one of America's greatest cowards...

...John Roberts has been one of this country's greatest phonies. From the time William Rehnquist was made Chief Justice until John Roberts received a conservative super-majority, nearly every justice who's served on the Supreme Court agreed on one basic thing: the Court's decisions should be limited in scope. The Roberts Court has cast that thinking aside in favor of expansive actions and jurisprudence based on weirdly constructed tests that complicate the law as opposed to clarifying it. And while the lower courts do their best to fight against Trump's lawlessness, The Roberts Court sits as a reliable lifeline that believes Trump is the one who suffers the greater harm if his whims aren't satisfied than the person who's lost their job, or the individuals who've been deprived of their liberty.

I truly believe Roberts will go down in history with the same level of infamy as Roger Taney. At a time when this country needs heroes, he's the would-be dictators greatest enabler.
