Well, if you thought Roberts was awful before, this book succinctly outlines just HOW MUCH WORSE he really, truly is for America and the American people. Well, for the non-megarich American people, anyway. I mean, I remember the 2000 election and the outcome, as well as who helped orchestrate that mess. I remember not wanting him even on the Court, much less as the Chief Justice. And I didn’t know the half of it. Seriously.

This is a man who truly believes he’s above the law. Above the Constitution. Above any and all norms and legal precedents or practices. As long as he wants it, he makes it so. He doesn’t care who he steps on, what he upends, or the damage done as long as he obtains all the power possible. He’s 100% a Project 2025 proponent. He’s absolutely a bigot. But he has disdain for anyone not born on third base, rounding home. And it shows all too clearly. Even more so now.

So I have to hope for good in the future. Because as long as Roberts, his Opus Dei and Project 2025 cronies, and the Republican far-right extremists are at the wheel, we’re up a creek. And that creek will likely be full of contaminated water soon enough, too.
