Chief Justice Roberts is repealing the 20th century to protect the corruption of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and his own conservative majorityJoy-Ann Reid (Welcome to Joy's House!)
"The Court’s abuses of power now extend to any laws that would limit their goal of remaking the country by corrupt means.

Gene Weingarten notes that historians consider the Taney court the worst Supreme Court in US history. But:
"Now consider the John Roberts court. It is politically fractured. It has dispensed hell from day one, almost unfailingly enforcing a right-wing activist political agenda. It is absurdly partisan and morally corrupt."
