John Roberts has created a monster — and he knows it
John Roberts has created a monster — and he knows it
Five or six years ago, I was in federal court on an evidence motion. I don’t remember the issue, the claim, or whether I was for or against the motion. What I do remember like it happened today is the exchange I had with the judge.
Does Roberts have the humility and courage to admit he was wrong in ruling against Sotomayor about making the President a king? History and the world are watching and the time to act is NOW.
Expecting the courts to do anything at this point is insanity.
"Here’s some free legal advice to Venezuelans caught up in Trump’s nightmare: Amend your complaint. File in state court. Get a state prosecutor to allege specific grounds supporting criminal liability against Trump, to give the Roberts court an opportunity to delimit its immunity ruling. Identify specific acts Trump has taken to harm you that cannot be construed as core executive functions. This will give Roberts the chance to list some conduct that is—and conversely that can never be—a core executive function, to diffuse Trump’s notion that he can get away with murder. Hint: trying to impeach a federal judge is not, and can never be, a core executive function. Lying to American citizens about a foreign invasion is not, and can never be, a core executive function."
Roberts gets to preside over the end of the rule of law in America. 1801-2015. All the rulings he has a hand in lead up to this. Loyalty to party over country inflicted a potentially mortal wound to the country.
