Always remember: The Roberts Court is ALWAYS outcome oriented and only INCIDENTALLY βrule of lawβ when being so is convenient.
It's never "doing the right thing."

Legal normies and the left have to stop flattering themselves that Roberts ever does anything they like to gain credibility with them for something worse he plans to do. When it happens, it's only a collateral benefit.

Roberts Court Decoder Ring:
When it comes to corporations or the Epstein Class:
Rule of law for me; rule by law for thee
Stop keeping score by Trumpβs W/L, but by the W/L record of those who spent billions to capture the court. You donβt need to be a ConLaw professor; just look out the window.

The War of Southern Aggression
The MAGA Reconstruction of the North Is Well Underway
We are well into a war of Southern aggression β a neo-Confederate project to remake the entire country in its own image and win the war the South never conceded.

The Moral Stupefaction of the American Public
Trumpβs boat strikes will seek cover in the same specious legality debate the Bush administration sowed with the torture memos.
Today's Amicus (and the piece it covers) should be required listening/reading for anyone still messaging "no one is above the law" or reflexively wound up that what the Trump regime is doing is "illegal! or "unconstitutional!"

Pictures of murdered activists: Andrew Goodman, James Earl Chaney, and Michael Henry Schwerner in 1964; Renee Good and Alex Pretti today.
4/ Renee Good and Alex Pretti smeared as domestic terrorists? A function of the counter-insurgency techniques and mentality from abroad being used at home.
They also, sadly, join a long line of law abiding citizens murdered by police or vigilantes for daring to stand up for justice.

3/ DEI attacks? These donβt just have rhetorical appealβthey have instrumental value as a cover for the wholesale purge of the leaders in the military, federal law enforcement, federal government, and civil society institutions that the regime believes most likely to stand up to it.

2/ FBI and DOJ purges? Anyone who prosecuted Trump is presumed just as corrupt as weβd see anyone who let Eric Adams off the hook.
Attacks on elected Dems? Those Dems arenβt seen as legit public servants; their victories were invalid because they were elected by people who arenβt white Christians.

The War of Southern Aggression
The MAGA reconstruction of the North is well underway
1/ Letβs consider the actions of the Trump regime that make no sense if the objective is winning elections, but make all the sense in the world if the objective is the MAGA reconstruction of the rest of America.
J6 pardons? Of course; if the election really had been stolen, theyβd be patriots.

Nationalizaton of Neo-Confederate State Policy
Nationalization of Neo-Confederate State Policy Neo-Confederate State Policy Roberts Court Trump/Congress Medicaid Rejected ACA expansion; work requirements; banned use of Medicaid funds for Plann...
The Neo-Confederate States are the βlaboratories of autocracyβ that set the stage for the Trump regime.
As this chart shows, most of his authoritarian, Christian nationalist actions had precedent in Neo-Confederate legislatures, having either been enabled or facilitated by the Roberts Court.

The War of Southern Aggression
The MAGA reconstruction of the North is well underway
There is a geographically distinct βnationβ within the American nationβthe Neo-Confederate Statesβthat refuses to accept the legitimacy of the US as a pluralistic democracy.
The invasion of Minnesota is the latest maneuver in that nationβs efforts to βreconstructβ the North by force.

We can't think for a second that this won't happen in another American city, or that this will all go away when Trump does or the media moves on.
