To win a war they cannot avoid, Chief Justice Roberts and his allies must rediscover their belief in a simple notion: The American president is not above the law.

America must hold Presidents to the Law or the consequence will be trickle-down lawlessness. #TrickleDownLawlessness Yes, it is that simple—dare we say that even a Supreme Court Judge could grasp the concept.
How did men of such little character make it onto the highest court in the land?
When the final reckoning comes, we as a society need to take a long hard look at ourselves and the things we reward and laud in people because until we fix that, we will always be vulnerable to such evil.
Seems like the Supreme Court has forgotten the vow they took before taking their seat. That’s to protect the Constitution. There will be a power struggle between the Supreme Court and Trump! Question now becomes will democracy win?
Starting with Citizens United, it was clear that we would end up where we are. Corporations are not people and the US constitution was not written to protect corporations from the King of England, but to protect the People. Politically driven judicial decisions have killed the USA.
Authoritarianism was fostered by McConnell and Roberts: McConnell gave Trump a pass on impeachment; Roberts made Trump above the law. Their actions neutered both their branches of government.
Nixon would have had a field day with this court...when the President breaks the law, it's not a crime. Trump will be ordering that protestors are shot in the legs in no time.
I don't care what Americans believe, or have been told to believe...the Supreme Court's purpose is NOT to keep the President in check...nor any other court.
Congress has been granted the power to impeach...that's it, cut and dried...Congress...

The Roberts Court is beyond hope.

I think they wanted a scapegoat for the inevitable collapse of our fraudulent financial system.
Then they will suddenly grow a conscience and a spine.
