Please, don’t ask John Roberts to explain any of his bizarre rulings that Donald Trump is our Glorious Sun King, immune to all laws of man and triumphant over the forces of nature as well.
Asking Roberts why he’s a partisan hack just makes him sad.
Asking Roberts why he’s a partisan hack just makes him sad.
The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
