Avoiding all articles you disagree with isn’t exactly the path to intellectual growth...

My comments today all express profound disappointment with Justice Roberts’ move. And I never said I agreed with this article. For me Roberts jumped the shark this week just as bad with the immigration issue, so it’s not that I’m his grand defender. But nor do I think he’s some kind of “turncoat” or whatever - he surely did what he thought was right, despite the fact that I wish he’d done what was right for the country, and not based on his personal idea of what “right” is.

As I’ve said already, I think he was caught up with preserving the Court as an institution, and perhaps his own ego as well - wanting to protect the “Roberts” Court more than just the Court in general.

But as we are all grasping at straws at how this man could have put the good of the country aside - for any reason - it’s worth reading whatever might shed some light. Attempting to ease the depression one feels at a time like this, I suppose.

If your suspicions are correct, and your understanding of today’s events is correct, then things are pretty bad indeed. But hold open the possibility that something very good took place today that will become apparent in the coming days and weeks. Thanks.

It's not his job to consider the interests of the country. His only job is to enforce the Constitution. Unfortunately, he got it wrong.

Actually isn't his job to protect and defend the Constitution? You are full of it girl.
