If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath. @realdonaldtrump

I've followed you since 1977, post Watergate, when was a law student @ UofW. Really cherish the "acquaintance" if I may call it so.

BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

If you missed Trump‘s speech to the military leadership, or have been snoozing since he resumed Office, it appears that he and roughly 30% of the voting population that support him, want the 70% that does not to give up our liberties and freedom. If we don’t, he will take them using our military.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

More on TRUMP TARIFFS: I have 6 AI platforms on my iPhone. Perplexity & ChatGPT5 do a decent job with legal analysis. AI’s bottom line is the Supreme Court (with CJ Roberts the swing vote) will strike down Trump‘s tariffs in a 5/4 decision. A good test for political/legal prognostication by AI.

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.
