He'll call it a masterful success. I hope Roberts' smarts outdo Trump's cunning.

I really hope I'm wrong but what I expect from Roberts is what drumpf expects too, complete submission. It would be glorious for sweet reason and facts to rule him, but they never have before. He's always shown himself to be a complete rw fascist in his rulilngs and why would I expect this to be different? The only question is what do we do when our constitution has been shredded, because it would take a miracle for this not to happen now.

Roberts has a self serving perspective when it comes to his legacy. He also knows he can't be forced off the bench by legal means. Pelosi wouldn't move to impeach him if he acts constitutionally. But if he sees the country marching double time to fascism then he'll throw in with Trump. I hate to think that Roberts stands between us & the Constitution and Trump.

Registering people to vote and gotv activity is god's work in light of how the court ruled on Wisconsin this week.

want dark money free for all elections with voting rights stripped. The court is packed with crazies. The ABA isn't even consulted anymore and they used to get special access to the nominees beforehand to vet them for both parties. Bush stopped that thanks to the Federalist society. These are real threats and if not reversed then Democracy is doomed.

So thanks Justice Roberts !! From what I understand he's not gonna manage shit...he'll do as the Senate says with whatever rules or framework they lay out.

I'm just so disgusted today. EXTRA disgusted with the open fucking corruption of the Russiabublican party and their followers.
