3. The Roberts Court has existed to put their finger into every legal pie.

The thing that differentiates Republicans and Democrats is Republicans have no issue whatsoever with dismissing their hypocrisy. The Court taking up Trump's challenge after the D.C. Appeals Court handed down a decision for the ages, speaks to the Roberts Court not being able to countenance a lower court having the last word on anything, and something nearly everyone in this country accepted: no one is above the law. A simple tenet that spoke to the most fundamental concepts of American Democracy, and the Roberts Court trashed it for yet another confusing, inconclusive, unresolving piece of trash jurisprudence that can only be seen as the judicial equivalent of indecipherable software code created as job insurance. There was a time when it was thought the Supreme Court should be the clear last word on the question before it. This Supreme Court's decisions tend to open the door for yet more litigation, and Roberts' embarrassingly bad writings are the stuff of unfunny comedy routines.

For what they've done to this country, he and Mitch McConnell should never get another good night's sleep.
