Excellent reminder for us all. He’s a fraud. See also David Sirota’s Masterplan podcast. Episode 7 is where I learned that douchebag Roberts was part of Bush’s team of lawyers who fought to halt the recount in Florida in 2000.

The Roberts 6 (Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett) are absolutely corrupt. They all must be removed from the court. With every 6-3 ruling they make they give more evidence to their corruption. Time to clean the court and disinfect it.

I'm pleased to see this book covered by Zeteo. I reviewed it for the California Review of Books.

For decades, Repugnjcans have whined about “activist judges” whose efforts tended to favor the general public. Evidently they’re fine with a SCOTUS bent on securing American fascism.

Roberts is the penultimate force behind the corporate takeover of America. The strategy needed for this to happen? Legalizing corporate corruption and the bribery of public officials. It has happened.

The Powell memo/manifesto of 1971 laid out how the ultimate power resides in the judiciary. That was what corporations needed to capture. And they did. This is chess, and Roberts is the queen--the most powerful piece. Corporations have used the queen, Roberts, to checkmate the weak/fragile king, democracy. The award-winning Master Plan podcast describes this clearly. A must-listen, episode 3, The Powell Memo. https://the.levernews.com/master-plan/

The Powell memo--interesting to read the original source document: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/assets/usa-courts-secrecy-lobbyist/powell-memo.pdf

Roberts is a perfect example of someone who has stayed too long at the fair. Justices should have term limits for age and time served. 20 years service or 75 years of age whichever comes first. His decisions and those of the other extremists have weakened our country and paved the way for authoritarian rule by trump. Thomas and Alito are both extremely corrupt and should be impeached immediately and prosecuted. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has investigated these two and they are both rotten to the core as our country is becoming with this kind of Banana Republic!

THERE ARE NO GOOD REPUBLICANS

It is now clear that there are no good Republicons left….they are all traitors as is Der Fuhrer and his Nazi allies to the country in trying to destroy the government of the country and complicit in Cheeto’s corruption, unconstitutional orders, and creating an inflationary upward spiral

But they told us what they were going to do in the widely publicized Project 2025 agenda The voting electorate knew what what they were up to and opposed overwhelmingly what the Project stood for(96% of polled population were against the Project) There are only 2 conclusions The voting electorate didn’t care despite the polling OR Cheeto and his Nazi allies rigged the 2024 election in various nefarious ways eg Greg Palast’s investigative reporting(bit.ly/41UelTx) on vigilante challenges by 40,000 Nazi vigilantes

So tell it like it is to your friends, neighbors, relatives, family DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICON IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS

If there is to be fairness in the world to come, then Roberts and his fellow black-robed fascists will all have special places at Hitler's Stammtisch (regular's table) where I hope they enjoy the company of luminaries such as Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Kissinger (just to name a few), plus of course Demented Donnie Two-Dolls.

If I could get an audience with any leader, it'd be John Roberts to say WTF?? Well, I'd say something more articulate but that's the gist. It's not surprising that we have an egomaniacal executive, but the fact that the legislative branch has caved is truly disheartening. 1,000,000 person march against the Supreme Court!
