The umpire who picked a side: John Roberts and the death of rule of law in America | US supreme court | The Guardian

Quote

Prominent jurists have held Roberts responsible for emboldening Trump’s drive towards an authoritarian presidency. J Michael Luttig, who served on a federal appeals court for 15 years, put the criticism starkly.

“The chief justice is presiding over the end of the rule of law in America,” Luttig told the Guardian.

In Luttig’s view, the court under Roberts is “acquiescing in and accommodating the president’s lawlessness. And it is doing so without briefing, without argument, without deliberation – and without even a single word of explanation of its decisions.”

For Luttig, this is more than just the 6-3 supermajority of the court expressing its conservatism. This is a fundamental distortion of the American legal system.

“The supreme court was never intended to function like this. Never before has it entertained such challenges from the president, and never before has it decided them so flippantly.”

When it comes to assessing the chief justice’s record, Luttig has special standing. He was himself a one-time contender for a supreme court seat, and has known Roberts as a friend since they worked together in their 20s in the Reagan administration. Roberts asked Luttig to be a groomsman at his wedding in 1996.

“I have had four decades of knowing and respecting him,” Luttig said.

Having had a ringside seat for so many years, Luttig has no doubts about how the chief justice is conducting himself in the current fraught moment.

“John Roberts knows exactly what he is doing,” the judge said, “and he knows exactly the message he is sending to America.”

 

Imagine spending your professional life waiting for the moment to undermine the republic because you think an authoritarian government would rule better than the people. You wait long years for all the chess pieces to be put in place including the solidification of the Supreme Court as protectors of the transition. 

At long last, the opportunity comes. All of your efforts, all of your waiting, and all of the disingenuousness you embraced at the cost of your soul produce the result. An authoritarian government headed by:

Donald Trump.

Your coup got couped, motherfucker. You're fascist to a fucking clown. Whatever "ideal" you sold yourself that you thought you were fulfilling becomes ash.

Still, you can't stop yourself, you shameless traitor to your oath and country. You keep executing the plan.

Camp Mystic is part of your legacy. Unvaccinated children may become the high watermark of your murder cult religion. You won't bat an eye when a transgender teenager commits suicide due to state sancitoned bullying. You have no qualm about elimination of goodwill from any policy decision. 

I'd rather lose and be me than win and become whatever you are. Some form of rodent, I suppose.

I just don't understand what they think the end game is. There is no coming back from this. It just keeps getting worse. I don't understand how they could want what is inevitably coming: there will be a period of time where we will be ruled by a dumb dictator who pretends to believe in white christian values. But being ruled is not part of our culture. this will eventually end in bloodshed and civil war.  

or they could restore the rule of law and tell the idiots to go pound sand. im just not sure what they get out of it.

Abrego, wrongfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador, now faces removal to Uganda just a day after being freed from a Tennessee jail.

ICE has been employing a lot of slack jawed yokels, so Garcia might have just mistakenly heard "Uganda" when one them said "you gonna die."

Even the nazis thought they had to pass an enabling act to give Hitler emergency powers. John Roberts and the other conservatives on SCOTUS have decided they don't even need that to legitimize their dictatorship.

I'm curious what the relationships on the court are like behind the scenes. If you're one of the three normal ones, how do you play nice with the others? Or maybe they don't.

Watch us get to a point to where Stephen Miller is telling people to attack brown people at polls, and not to worry because there will be mass pardons handed out to these heroes that do so.

Well I guess I need to carry my passport with me at all times. Real nice country we got here, huh? Land of the free? What a crock of shit

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a scathing dissent:

“That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”

The damage this court has done is irreparable. 

All Newsome has to do is to walk in, and fire every judge he doesn't like and reverse every decision they have made he doesn't like on his own schedule.   If they resist, they can be deported to some unknown island along with the remainder of the trump family.  Then appoint new justices whose first act will be to codify conduct/ethics as part of conduct which will eventually become the law.

Yep. It is unclear how our Constitutional system can still function with what they have ruled. I don't even know if there is a reset button.

I think it’ll take a complete constitutional rewrite at this point. If that’s even possible. It probably isn’t without a major war, and even then, there’s a good chance the rewrite will be in fascism

I mean, President Newsom could come in and order that, in the name of national security, all 6 of them need to be publicly hanged on the WH lawn and a mildly competent lawyer could argue - USING SOLELY SCOTUS OPINIONS - that he is within his right to do so.  It's just fucking insanity.

....this is the end-game.  It's the only end-game that make sense.  They cannot simultaneously (1) give complete and total power, with no restraints or restrictions, to the executive, and (2) believe for a millisecond that an opposition executive will ever occupy the office again.

Brown people have no rights in this country.  "Being brown" is reasonable suspicion that allows you to be detained by the police.  Implicit in that is that....being white gives you a free pass.  

This rule will also apply to black people, because "it is known that there is a higher prevalence of criminals among the black population, and therefore it is a reasonable basis to suspect they are engaged in criminal activity."  The doctrine on Terry stops is dead.  White people have special status in this country: they have constitutional protections, like the 4th amendment.  Everyone else....has no such rights or protections.

It's just the core principle of conservatism, now said out loud by the fascist court: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

And it follows that such groups must likewise be deprived of their voice, vote, and representation.  There will be no further free and fair elections.  The SCOTUS will make sure of it.
