The Supreme Court was hit by a flurry of damaging new leaks Sunday as a series of confidential memos written by the chief justice were revealed by The New York Times.
The court’s Chief Justice John Roberts was clear to his fellow justices in February: He wanted the court to take up a case weighing Donald Trump’s right to presidential immunity—and he seemed inclined to protect the former president.
“I think it likely that we will view the separation of powers analysis differently,” Roberts wrote to his Supreme Court peers, according to a private memo obtained by the *Times. *He was referencing the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to allow the case to move forward.
Roberts took an unusual level of involvement in this and other cases that ultimately benefited Trump, according to the Times— his handling of the cases surprised even some other justices on the high court, across ideological lines. As president, Trump appointed three of the members of its current conservative supermajority.

Imagine how much worse off we would be if that kid actually had manage to not miss Trump. We would likely still have Biden running for president against God knows what.
Realistically killing john roberts would save american lives, who can say if good or bad.
no.
we don’t want their side becoming martyrs. this is a bad idea.
its more of a trolley problem thought exercise.
The overturn of roe alone has probably lead to several deaths. Who are you or I to say his life is more valuable than others,
no. for a hundred years we’d be hearing ‘if they hadn’t murdered our donald’.
no.
they still mourn the confederacy
I could say but won’t because I like getting news from Lemmy.
You could have made the same point without being disgusting by saying impeach.
I understand your frustration. I really, really do. But the trouble with political violence is that it doesn’t end there. Look at our justice system - it isn’t about making people whole, it’s about getting even. That’s what the other 40% of America will do. I don’t want a civil war in my lifetime.
We the people cannot impeach.
Bro, please stop. It’s a bad look, it’s morally and ethically wrong, and it hurts our chance at never having to hear Trump’s name ever again.
You should be banned and your comment should be deleted. If you want to be a dumbfuck, please do it into the mirror like your apparent role model, Travis Bickle.
Maybe politicians should think about violence when they destroy so many peoples lives for their corporate overlords.
