Too bad it's a state-level thing and not up to him or that would matter.
I've seen way too much fuckery that the Republicans keep winning in court on to fully trust that that's enough to save us.
Oh I'm sure they'll try. But I think even SCOTUS would have a hard time justifying forcing a presidential candidate who dropped out before the convention to be on the ballot. They may still do it, but I think it will be very, very difficult. I could certainly see Roberts not going for that.
Roberts I'm iffy about, he seems torn between his legacy and his legacy...
The real legacy of being a semi-corrupted court, and the winners-take-all-and-write-the-history legacy of being the bestest court ever who helped Donald Trump secure his win against the evil corrupt Democrats. He seems at least mildly interested in the latter, because it allows him to pretend he's more serious than he is.
Remember that Roberts didn't go for Trump's election lie.
But he did sit on the immunity decision for months after months of ignoring Jack Smith requesting the same thing. Yet somehow, when a Republican brought the same issue to the court, it was suddenly an important issue... just not important enough to rule on quickly.
...and then they just did a major power grab by making themselves the arbiters of what official acts are and are not.
Sorry, but the immunity decision screams Robert could give a fuck less about being in the pocket.
Dude, absofuckinglutely. Robert's was never not on Trump's side, he just bided his time until the right decisions came through, like the one that makes the president a de-facto kingship based in court opinions with a huge amount of freshly minted psychos as judges.
