Been A Bad Two Days, Will Write More Later

but till then here's more with Lisa Graves exposing John Roberts as a very far-right Republican political player before he was on the bench and while he's been on the bench.   It is really a revelation as to how we got the rival to Roger B. Taney for the worst Chief "justice" in American history.   I think, at this point, Roberts has actually surpassed Taney for that title and I think before the end of this term is over, that will be the general consensus of anyone who has looked at that history.   He is literally reimposing Jim Crow and it's not only on Black People he's imposing it along with all five of his Republican-fascist colleagues. 



On Court of History, Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz speak with Lisa Graves, author of Without Precedent, about how Chief Justice John Roberts helped build a Supreme Court that shields corruption, empowers Trump, and dismantles the Constitution. From Bush v. Gore to Trump v. United States, Graves exposes the right-wing network and billionaires behind America’s judicial takeover.

Note particularly what she said about his time creating a fake "moderate" record while he was out of power during the Clinton years,  something that I recall many a "liberal" lawyer reassuring us with as he was nominated, as, in fact, Alito's lawerly and judicial and law-scholar buddies and cronies did during his confirmation.   I wish someone would post the pannels of such lawerly-liarly "liberals" during the Alito hearings because it became a milestone in my real understanding of that kind of secular, libertarian "liberalism" and why such "liberals" are entirely unreliable.   They're all goddamned careerists as "institutionalists."   I wish I could throw their words then in their faces now that he's been exactly the opposite of what they reassured us he would be on the bench.   You can't trust secular-libertarian-"liberals" of the kind the media generally has on.   They're no more credible than Bari Weiss.
