TBTC President @liptonlubet.bsky.social notes the Roberts Court’s own corruption plays a role in its willingness to embrace Donald Trump’s corruption: “You can only live in a rule-free environment for so long before it cooks your brain.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The ethics scandals could explain some of Roberts' and his colleagues recent decisions, like how they've consistently torn down public corruption law on the premise that bribery is just a part of politics. "The eager embrace and encouragement that you've seen from the Roberts court for Trump's lawlessness is just marinating in the right-wing justices' belief that rules don't apply to them either," Lipton-Lubet says. "Justices who are comfortable taking essentially undisclosed bribes from fellow ideologues end up deciding that the president they support is above the law. They've created this culture for themselves of accountability-free corruption, and that extends, I think, to the way that they view the administration." She adds, "You can only live in a rule-free environment for so long before it cooks your brain."

“Long before Roberts and his colleagues assented to Trump’s lawless second term, they helped him get one. Not since 2000, when the justices put George W. Bush in the White House, has the court done so much to pick a president.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.
