Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Its not about govt efficiency.

Mass murder is the explicit goal. Soft eugenics. More guns. Less health care.

Read Yarvin, Thiel, Musk, Vought.

Kill off the poor, disabled, young, old, federal workers, Africa - those that do not produce for the white, Nerd Reich and oil oligarchs.

@davidcorn.bsky.social had a chance to stop it but decided Leonard Leo stacking the courts wasn’t a story. I warned Corn in 2010. Leo already had Roberts and Alito by then - but not a story.

Maybe. Possibly. He is certainly an extreme right Catholic and Opus Dei adjacent, following in the footsteps of Nazi Catholic Carl Schmitt. But Ive never seen anything linking him directly - other than similar world view - to Opus Dei.
