Jon Pennington: Roberts is obviously furthering a right-wing Federalist Society project, but it's also reinforced by the widespread centrist pundit belief that Gerald Ford pardoning Nixon was therapeutic for America, as opposed to the beginning of a cycle of elite impunity that still persists today.

Ay yo fuck John Roberts for real. If you haven’t read that opinion yet, wow, it’s fall of the republic shit.

I expected it to be bad, and it fell significantly below even my very cynical expectations

Like I should not have opened it for bedtime reading

It annoys me more than it should that it's pretending to be law

Like, if you want to say "fuck you Biden, Trump is allowed to do crimes and when he is elected he gets to be dictator, lolol, fuck you libs", just fucking write that. I don't need you to pretend it's rooted in any higher principle.
