Chief Justice Roberts Is Just As Bad As Clarence Thomas & Sam Alito

Roberts halted a lower court decision that allowed foreign money appropriated by Congress to continue until the issue is resolved.

Roberts is OK with Krasnov having the power to stop money appropriated by Congress.

Something a dictator would do, eh? Hope this isn't a RWTP. (Inside joke to a few people.)

funny when they realize that they have given him everything he wants, so he no longer needs a court to do his bidding.

They will become superfluous....and a liability.

These clowns are not conserned with their legacy. It is always money and power. A little racism, selfish self interest, paranoia, and fear, but mostly mostly money and power

I never saw him smile until Rump was in the White House. Now he virtually glows. I guess it’s true what they say about power. Must be a huge power trip to be able to bring down a nation. They once said he cared a great deal about his legacy. I think he’s relieved not to have to care about it anymore. The euphoria of unchallenged power is stronger than any man made drug. Future words in history books can’t compete with this high.

Just be careful Smilin’ Johnny; there are even hungrier rats under that big sugar tree.

He just looks like he shouldn’t someone who wouldn’t be such a willing, impotent pawn in this madness. But that’s clearly not the case. He will drag the country into a fascist state with a narcissistic madman and his supplicants ruling it like a sick grudge match with no rule of order except for sadism, revenge, and pain infliction to compel it.

Roberts has been a horrible chief justice. The Shelby County opinion was a horrible decision based on Roberts believe that there was no more racial discrimination against nonwhite voters
