Before we give Roberts a pat on the back, just remember he created this monster (Trump v. America, Citizens United) not to mention engaged in other deplorable acts of cowardice and moral bankruptcy (Kennedy, Heller....). One mild rebuke does not a decent justice make.

Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death.

Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.
