Aside from the mild annoyance that comes from having one's ego dented, Roberts doesn't care.
If T666p fires everyone on the Court, Roberts and the other shitheads will just retire to their respective yachts, fly their respective flags, and collect their respective plush pensions.
Respect has to be earned. This court is illegitimate and corrupt. If they wanted to be respected, they should have conducted themselves with integrity.
Reap what you sow, fascists. Whining is not a good look for anyone, and even less so for extremely powerful middle-aged men with lifetime appointments, no oversight, and no accountability.
But I thought they LIKED olde-timey things! They sure do like to say that gun control laws and abortion laws should be like ye olden times! George III should be squarely in their wheelhouse!

>Show me in the Constitution where it says POTUS shares any sort of power with anyone else. He's da man in charge, and all these quote-unquote legislators and judges need to get out of his way.
Remember, 6 members of this Court believe in a theory of “Single Man Infallibility” and Romans 13 - “Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God.”

"mimeographed Christmas newsletter" is a really nostalgic reminder of times past. I'm of the age that I can remember (1) the bluish-purplish mimeograph ink that could smear so easily over hands and clothes and (2) those hand-crank devices you'd use to generate the mimeograph copies.
Oh, all of a sudden NOW he's worried about Mango Unchained?
Maybe the Supremes shouldn't have made the president immune from the law. Ya think?
I thought Cartman said "authoritAh"....
And Roberts is-was-willbe a hack until the end of time.
This is performative bullshit posturing.

Well, well, well -- If it isn't the consequences of your actions.

Rich words from the Chief Justice after making Drumpf a king.
Should have thought about all this before you made Drumpf a king, Chief Justice Roberts.
To be fair, it's hard to respect a court made up of corrupt shitheads and chickenshits that gave a dictator carte blanche.
Also a Court made up of sycophantic grifters relying on billionaires to wine and dine them may, just may, have made the Court a joke.

Best last line to a post ever. 2025 in a nutshell, I predict.
"Replace them with our people."

Ta, Dok. Vance gets his "ideas," such as they are, from Yarvin, who wants to abolish democracy. No, not just Democrats, democracy itself.
He wants to go back to feudalism. Certain blokes in Philadelphia in 1776 would not look favorably on this notion.
Certain mooks in Mar-a-Lago don't give a crap.

Gee, I wonder why he's worried Trump is going to flaunt the law.
couldn't be because SCOTUS declared he could do whatever he wants, if he calls it 'official'.
Flout. Flout the law. Although he'll probably flaunt as he flouts.
He'll probably also flounce.
Fluoridate!
Floridate?
Where's General Ripper when you need him?
Hard to imagine that burnt-orange lardass ... flouncing.
damn. now i want flautas.
Perhaps some flouncing will be involved as well!
"It's fun to stay at the YMCA!"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Now that fucking song is stuck in my head!
And visions of Trump doing the hurky-jerky while it plays?
Ohhhh, you are evil!
These dangerous suggestions, however sporadic, must be soundly rejected.
! You and who else motherfucker? !

Remember huffing those freshly-mimeographed pages?
I remember the smell of mimeograph ink. It wasn't bad, kind of weirdly good?
Ammonia.
It was GREAT! I can still summon it up.
