So now that a judge is under attack, Chief Justice John Roberts wakes up to push back. Wasn’t he the guy who wrote immunity was needed so the President wouldn’t be deterred “from taking the bold and unhesitating action required of an independent Executive”? Like what you did now, Justice Roberts?

Today, the lunatic is arguing since he won the election (debatable) in a mandate (false) our laws should not apply to him (super false). That anyone in the judiciary, a co-equal branch of government, who dares question his authority should be impeached (batshit bananas dictatorspeak).

The Chief Justice speaks out to protect democracy, at least as far as his own institution is concerned. Hopefully this signals an intent to stand for more. In the face of silence from the GOP, he has chosen to take this remarkable step of warning the president to back off.

this is a bad sign for the administration on the Roberts Rudeness Index (the metric I made up for whether John Roberts thinks that somebody has been Rude, and therefore rules against them)

In 1863, on a bloody Gettysburg battlefield, Abraham Lincoln asked for our dedication to self-governance, so that the “dead shall not have died in vain.” I am not about to let a narcissistic despot & his sycophants, bent on destroying America, achieve their vile goals. How about you?

This is one reason why we have to stop saying Trump is enacting "anti-DEI" measures. We have to stop accepting the acronym "DEI" in general. This isn't about specific measures to promise diversity, equity, & inclusion. This specific action constitutes an ethnic cleansing of our shared history.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Donald Trump is human garbage, willing to endanger President Biden’s family for politics. In 2021, he used his power to extend Secret Service protection to his grown kids—something normally for college-aged children. Biden didn’t touch it. But Trump? Pure scum.
