LISA I just watched you, Legal AF and I can’t afford to buy the book however I like the insight into our crooked Mr John Roberts
Supreme Court Justice, who should’ve disqualify himself on a technicality when he was the judge ruling on a case for the bush administration. And the last 20+ years of his body at work speaks for itself with that insight,
John Robert’s has betrayed his oath. He is a disgrace whose seat on the court was a gratuity from George W. Bush for Robert’s shrewd legal work to prematurely stop the vote count in Florida. We’re still paying the price. Roberts is not even making a pretense of following the Constitution. He and his co-conspirators are a travesty.
They're not merely "emboldening" him. They are legally clearing the way for him to destroy the Constitution and American democracy with impunity. They sanctioned murder and racism. Roberts, Alito, Coney-Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas are all traitors and must be impeached for committing high crimes.
So True! The US may have had their share of bad dogs in the past in SCOTUS but not a John Roberts who lost control of his mind (!) and the Supremes. He’s totally under the influence.
As a former attorney I find the Supreme Court's dystopian bent far more troubling than Trump's. I mean District Court judges keep trying to follow the law and trying to put the breaks on the administration's fascism. Then the shadiwdocket shuts it down with a one sentence opinion. It's not fixable without drastic measures.
Great to see you on this platform! The insightfulness of your writing is no surprise to me.
Just wanted to share two pieces I’ve written recently on similar themes. The first explores the roots of our constitutional crisis, looking back to the decision that effectively placed Roberts on the bench. https://shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/our-courts-cant-defend-democracy
I more recently published a piece reflecting on the bizarre spectacle of the Supreme Court limiting the power of its own branch, and explaining why institutional self-betrayal is so dangerous for the constitutional separation of powers. https://shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/a-nation-of-morons
In addition to getting Lisa's book, I encourage everyone to watch the excellent series called The Scheme produced by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
When that "absolute immunity" decision was made I remember reading the decision and Roberts part, in particular, and thinking it wasn't well written. It was straining to justify the decision. And I think he even included the "no man is above the law" phrase in his writing! I laugh-cried when I saw that, thinking just how dumb does he think we are.
He literally elevated the President beyond criminal prosecution (yes, I know, for official acts...out to Jupiter...). By definition, it means whoever is the President is one step higher than everyone else, and literally above the law.
Which is why Trump breaks the law and doesn't even blink. Stood right in front of 800 of our (OUR) military leaders and said 1) I'll fire any of you who doesn't "satisfy" me - and Pete and I have already had to fire some of you, and 2) Democrats are the "enemy within" and I think it would be a good idea to "train" your troops by invading some cities. In other words, I'm declaring war on American citizens and if you don't go along with my plans to invade Democrat cities and states, I will FIRE YOU.
IMO, Trump has committed treason by declaring war on US citizens.
He along with 5 other ring kissers all need to be permanently disbarred and have all their law licenses revoked forever and never be allowed to practice law again anywhere in the United States of America. Then they all need to be held without bond and held over until they can get a court date for each and every single one of them. They need to be charged with excepting bribes, expensive gifets and other special privileges for their supporting F-45 and his regime! There’re days are coming and when they get here and are put into actual processing and made ready to be upheld by the laws then their heads should roll! They are a total disgrace to the Supreme Court Justices Bench in which they are currently sitting on ! I can’t wait for the day they are removed, arrested, and held without bond awaiting their trial dates!
Roberts, like Moscow. Mitch, will become the definition of being a traitor in the future. They won't call traitors a Benjamin Arnold, they will call them a Moscow Mitch or a Mr. Justice Roberts.
Thanks for sharing this insightful information. I'm baffled by the Robert's court rubber stamp of Trump's reckless disregard for the rule of law, legal precedent and the Constitution. It's troubling that SCOTUS has often ruled from the shadow docket without explanation, especially when the lower courts ruled with respect to the law. It's becoming clearer that SCOTUS is aiding and abetting the dismantling of our democracy. The question is why.

the truth shall set us free God willing.🧐
And let’s not even START on Thomas … or Kavanagh … or Gorsuch and his “but what if …” deliberations !
For a reason, follow “citizens united” the money. He’s really another scammer hiding in robes.
John Robert’s needs to be IMPEACHED!
No one seems to notice he sold us out when he gave trump power that was not his …and just
For a few million dollar our republic is now paying the price!!
If Robert’s giveth he can take it away …NOW!!
I say we continue to demand them Epstein files no matter what! ☝🏾
Write to the Supreme Court and complain. Every piece of mail gets counted by the clerks. Maybe not read but numbers speak.
O
Traitors to the people and the USA.
John Robert’s has betrayed his oath. He is a disgrace whose seat on the court was a gratuity from George W. Bush for Robert’s shrewd legal work to prematurely stop the vote count in Florida. We’re still paying the price. Roberts is not even making a pretense of following the Constitution. He and his co-conspirators are a travesty.
John Robert’s, Mitch McConnell and Merrill Garland are all complicit in this nightmare. You could also throw in Paul Ryan and John Beigner.

Roberts, Alito, Coney-Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas are all traitors and must be impeached for committing high crimes.
The framers anticipated a Trump. They did not anticipate a Roberts or the shadowdocket.

So nice to see you here, Shahid! I will definitely check out those two pieces, and I look forward to reconnecting with you after all this time!!

There was a John Roberts on the Lolita Express, we do not know for sure it was this John Roberts but there is a photo online of him with Maxwell.
Roberts and his corrupt followers on the Court have sold out to Trumpland.
