Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has been left "shaken" by the unexpected public reaction to his ruling in the Donald Trumppresidential immunity case, a columnist wrote Friday.
Slate's judicial writer Dahlia Lithwick wrote that Roberts was left shocked that Americans didn't buy his attempt to persuade them that his ruling was not about Trump, but instead focused on the office of the presidency. The court ruled that a president was largely immune from criminal prosecution for official actions.
Lithwick referenced a report by CNN's Joan Biskupic. He “was shaken by the adverse public reaction to his decision affording [Donald] Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution," she wrote.
"His protestations that the case concerned the presidency, not Trump, held little currency.”

Remember folks: political violence is totally justified and not authoritarian a long as it's not against a Democrat!
Democrats are the chosen political party! They are better than you! They know what's best for you! Fuck you for having any ideals that go against their infallible ideology!
You're a stupid piece of shit if you aren't a Democrat! So you deserve violence against you!
It's not terrorism, it's "fuck you, you aren't a Democrat so you deserve it!"
99% of political violence in this country is from your side, but its a classic republican move to attempt to blame everyone else with the charges of the stuff your side is actually doing itself. So you're just a tired and not very original liar/troll. Arent there snowflake/safespace threads you should be on? You might get your feelings hurt here or god forbid, talk to a female and that would be a real tragedy because you might go hurt someone because of it. Or kick/kill an animal seems to be the thing your side prattles on about lately isnt it.
But yes, boohoo you're a victim and dems are violent. message received.
" your side".
See, people just assume that if you don't agree with the general ideology, you are an enemy.
I tend to agree with most socially "left" ideas, but because I don't want tax money to go toward wars or abortion as a form of birth control, I am a totalitarian piece of shit.
There is no nuance anymore. It's always: "you are either with us or against us" mentality. And there is absolutely NO WAY you can tell me that's not the case (at least on social media).
See, people just assume that if you don't agree with the general ideology, you are an enemy.
You're the one that came in with "Democrats bad". This was about "of course presidents shouldn't have immunity FFS."
that is an interesting observation. The idea of coalitions has seemingly broken down and its as you said now for everyone-- you're onboard with whatever the dems or repubs say and do, or you are labeled as supporting the enemy and a memebr of their camp. And no one puts forth a platform or plans like they used to. What a time to be alive eh.
I do wonder if this is the end of the American government. It sounds alarmist and a little crazy but also plausible. Fundamental architectural peices of our government are breaking down-- like when the supreme court ruled that presidents are not legally unaccounatble and presumed acting legally no matter what they do. Its not just problematic its broken. So now we inevitably get to watch that break spectacularly., standing here with our genitals in our hands. Does that mean seal team 6 shooting Americans like the news said was possible? I dont know. But its legally allowed now, so...?
Man, fuck off with this partisan bullshit
Do you feel the same way about medicine and food?
Democracy, medicine and food all have the same goal, making life better.
Being against democracy is like criticising someone for eating or using antibiotics.
Are you just admitting to being a complete moron here?
I feel that the product of someone else's labor is not a right just because you want the product but don't want to go through the process of learning how to create that product. Just because it's a specialized trade doesn't mean you automatically have a right to it!
I will take your change of subject to mean you realize your argument was a loser.
