you know the other thing that is troublesome about this “Roberts has a Master Plan” mentality is that no master plan matters now. This was a fundamental dividing point in American history.
The way he mis-reads the Constitution allows for the fundamental transformation into the totalitarian democracy that the left has always wanted. Roberts, of course, would say that he isn’t for that, that he wanted to decide on narrow grounds, blah blah blah...to avoid partisanship blah blah blah...all that amounts to nothing and even the Constitution amounts to nothing when the country itself has been fundamentally altered in how it relates to the federal government.
Its like saying “no” to chemotherapy when your body is riddled with cancer, and saying, “oh, now, I have a wellness plan here in my pocket which includes diet and exercise...and chemo is dangerous anyways”.
Robert’s is like a James Bond Super-villain. He’s got him dead, but then decides to kill him with a giant laser beam while suspended over a shark tank.
They could have killed it and gotten the very same result. I hope the author is right, but usually this “chess” playing is too smart by half.
