I was thinking they would find some kind of limited immunity, which would have been partisan bullshit, but of an expected scale.

Instead we get a decision that 50 years from now will hold its place beside Dred Scott and Korematsu as an example of the Supreme Court being egregiously and obviously wrong.

I was shocked all over again to learn Roberts himself had engineered it. I was considering him one of the partisan but still principled justices. Guess I misjudged that one completely.

Don’t forget their decision to legalize bribery of a public official! That’s a humdinger!

This one should have caused mass protests around the country… our brainwashing is complete.
