It’s not just about Trump.

Roberts built a court that expects presidents to break the law — and protects them when they do.

What happened to checks and balances?

John Roberts has undermined democratic laws & enabled authoritarianism every step of the way. @motherjones.com gives him the credit he deserves.

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it

This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

Lawyers and legal professionals: get yourselves ready for the Lawyers March this weekend! newrepublic.com/article/2026...
The Legal Professionals Planning to March Against Trump When democracies fall to authoritarianism, it is often the press, or students, or unions that first rise in protest. This has certainly been the case as Donald Trump has grabbed every lever of power since his last inauguration. But international history suggests that another—perhaps unexpected—group can serve as a democratic vanguard: the lawyers. From Islamabad to Warsaw, when executive power has turned against constitutional order, the people in black robes and stiff collars have sometimes been the ones to say no—and to say it in public, in their professional capacity, with the authority that comes from representing the law itself. The United States may soon be entering one of those moments. The People’s Parity Project, or PPP, a network of progressive lawyers and law students, is kicking off a nationwide “Lawyers March for Democracy” on November 15, backed by Alliance for Justice, the American Constitution Society, Lambda Legal, Project South, Law Students for Climate Accountability, and many other organizations. The march is intended to protest the authoritarianism of the Trump administration and the Supreme Court’s complicity in enabling it. But the event is also meant to spark something larger: a sustained, national mobilization of legal professionals willing to confront democratic backsliding head-on.

It is very unusual for lawyers to march. Alexis de Tocqueville described attorneys as an aristocracy and "the most powerful existing security against the excesses of democracy." Things must be bad when they—when we—take to the streets to oppose dictatorship.

Worked in legal organizing for the last few years, and I never would have thought a movement of lawyers was possible until I had the displeasure of doing this job under Trump 2.0. Attacks on the rule of law are so blatant that even usually nonpartisan lawyers are done newrepublic.com/article/2026...

Updated April 2, 2025 | Luis Nuñez SNAP Helps 1.2 Million Veterans With Low Incomes, Including Thousands in Every State About 1.2 million veterans live in households that participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).[1] Thousands of veterans in every state — who may be unemployed, working in low-paying jobs, or have disabilities — use SNAP to supplement their low income to put food on the table for themselves and their families.

“In the US, perhaps the simple act of lawyers marching together, explicitly as agents of the law, can begin to shift what it means to be a lawyer in an age of democratic crisis.”

Lawyers here have rarely seen themselves as a collective political force, and judges usually avoid anything resembling political protest. Yet in other countries, when institutions began to crumble, it was precisely these lawyers and judges who stepped into the breach. Two examples—Pakistan and Poland— offer both inspiration and a roadmap for what a legal profession movement might look like in the United States.”
