"If Donald Trump is playing king, Roberts is his court jester."

"More than a decade later, it’s obvious that not only was Roberts out of his mind, but also that his doe-eyed ignorance about the level of racial progress since 1965 has actively enabled the country’s current backward slide into Jim Crow." - @AngryBlackLady

Rewire News Group · Analysis: You Can Blame John Roberts for Our Country's Legal ShitshowIf Donald Trump is playing king, Roberts is his court jester.

"Like most people, I don’t watch Fake News CNN or MSDNC, but I understand they are going 'crazy' asking what is it that I was thanking Justice Roberts for? They never called my office to ask, of course, but if they had I would have told these sleazebag 'journalists' that I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING!" he said."

Sure.

Raw Story · Trump scrambles to explain away 'hot mic' comment to Chief Justice RobertsBy Tom Boggioni

"As #Trump made his way out of Congress following his first speech to the body since retaking office in January, he stopped to shake hands with the 4 Supreme Court justices in attendance. While shaking the hand of Chief Justice #JohnRoberts he said, “Thank you again, I won’t forget it,” then slapped the chief on the back.[...] Roberts gave Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card, and Trump is grateful.'

Yahoo News · Donald Trump Rips The Mask Off Of John Roberts’ Court In One SentenceBy Paul Blumenthal
Continued thread

The exchange was so awkward, it should have been followed by the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song. While #Trump was shaking hands down the aisle, exiting the House chamber after his address last night, network cameras caught him as he turned to Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, patted him on the back, & said, “Thank you again. Thank you again. I won’t forget.” Roberts, whose back was to the camera, then headed for the exit.

Continued thread

But that 2014 decision, written by Chief Justice #JohnRoberts Jr., was a narrow one, noting that other state & local govts had found ways to accommodate the rights of those opposed to #abortion & the #women entering clinics.

Mary Ziegler, an abortion #law expert & prof at the UC Davis School of Law, cautioned against reading too much into the majority’s decision not to review the #NewJersey & #Illinois cases.
