Chris Gaines: Hahaha. Trump’s only gambit his whole life has been ‘the courts will protect me.’ and he’s been largely right. Now that he has the highest court in the land in his pocket he is not going to target them. Okay, he might target 3 of them.

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

all of this for donald fucking trump of all people

Seriously! THIS is the guy you pull the trigger for! THIS is the guy you give up everything for! It's absolutely insane. They can see how he treats his subordinates and enablers -- all of them ultimately get thrown in the trash. And yet.

they are awfully confident about their safety under a trump regency

There were a lot of wealthy Jewish people in 1930s Germany who supported Hitler, who thought the antisemitism was just bluster and they’d be fine. A lot of people who helped Saddam Hussein get into power were taken out in his culls. People always think THEY’re safe from dictators until it’s too late

SCOTUS will be some of his first targets. He doesn’t need their patina of legitimacy any more. They can only cause him hassles. So bye!
