@blvckscience.bsky.social: I’m here for when this inevitably backfires in Roberts’ smug face. No one has ever stuck their neck out for Trump and not paid a price. It’s “no good deed goes unpunished” on steroids. The extent to which you used your power to shield Trump is directly commensurate with the price you ultimately pay.

Fuckin called it

i wonder if they're bringing up stuff he did in the white house so now they can try to get the case halted and tossed on the "official act' immunity the gang of six just made up yesterday

Yup. Bannon and Flynn aren’t taking orders from the Gang of Six. If they want Roberts done, Roberts is done.

Backfires in what way that will impact him at all personally?

I don’t think I ever implied a personal toll, but I do think there’s a professional cost that can reverberate into one’s personal life. I don’t believe the Justices have total immunity from the negative repercussions of these rulings. Alito’s wife doesn’t strike me as a happy go lucky individual.

I just want to know how this manifests as a backfire for a SCOTUS justice. They all keep their jobs and pay, nothing is going to change for them.
