Roberts made no serious effort to entice the three liberal justices for even a modicum of the cross-ideological agreement that distinguished such presidential-powers cases in the past. He believed he could persuade people to look beyond Trump.

This is the Roberts court’s legacy, the most politicized court in modern history, and the lack of all accountability or impartiality; politics is first and foremost. I’m not at all surprised, but it’s good to see this in writing.

Don't forget blatant corruption and a refusal to be held to any reasonable code of ethics!

The only thing I can think of is that Roberts and Co must think the rest of us are morons. His rationale seemed to be that he wanted to make sure the ruling applied to all presidents and not just Trump, but seemed to forget that Trump is known for pushing our system past the previously established political norms.

You can't say "Presidents need immunity so George W. doesn't get prosecuted for torturing terrorists at CIA black sites" without also realizing that you're giving Trump immunity for stealing classified documents and trying to overthrow our government.
