Baude has a BS in math and a law degree. Like most law professors he is trained for nothing and an expert in nothing. His “scholarship” is vetted, if you can call it that, only by student-editors of law reviews. His op-eds get even weaker scrutiny. Legal scholarship is in large part a scam.
Best to read the entire oped, as it's critical of the Court's rulings on cases related to Trump. Closes with "When dealing with Mr. Trump in particular, the court is so sure that our other institutions cannot be trusted that it fails to look in the mirror."
The author is completely incapable of recognizing that Roberts doesn't actually mean anything he wrote in the opinion and instead produced the outcome that would give his preferred presidential candidate the best shot at winning.
Right. "Well, they keep deciding for Trump/Republicans no matter which way the law/facts/issues point, so they must have a misunderstanding of nuances of inter-institutional relationships." No, they're just picking their side!
