In the Trump Era, the Supreme Court Can’t ‘Soar Above Politics’

[Hume]

Roberts orchestrated multiple high-profile rulings last term in ways that benefited Donald Trump, at least partly by acting as though the American people would not interpret them as political. In drafting the majority opinion for the Jan. 6 presidential immunity case, for example, Roberts “seemed confident that his arguments would soar above politics, persuade the public, and stand the test of time,” Kantor and Liptak wrote.

That attitude was dangerously naïve, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor tried to warn Roberts.

Did Chief Justice John Roberts not realize his immunity ruling would be seen as a victory for Trump?

"She was right, of course: “Both conservatives and liberals saw it as an epic win for Mr. Trump.” Combined with the rulings in Trump’s favor in the other two Jan. 6 cases, it is no surprise that the Supreme Court’s public approval level is hovering around its all-time low.

Imagine how much "better" a supreme court with say, 13 justices, 5 new ones picked by the radical Leftist Biden administration would be...

You assume the left would be just like the right, That is not how it works. The dem foolishly hope we can return to an America that both sides were treated with dignity and a degree of fairness. You rightys think the left is as corrupt as you and Trump are.

I remember a time several years ago that Roberts was a surprise jewel to the left, one that they suddenly started to like.............

the hypocrisy surrounding the idiot beliefs about SCOTUS justices, based solely upon the decisions made if it suits their purpose and how you represent it is comedy gold.

He made a couple of decent decisions at first

He did that pretty early

 

[Hawkeye10]

This court has been ruined, corrupted with politics, over about 40 years.

But everything gets blamed on Trump by our deeply failed elite class.

Dont B Dumb.
