I still believe, and have for years, that Roberts has an Achilles heel, and Obama holds the loaded bow and arrow pointed at it…the man has skeletons that have crept out of his closet, and is quivering in fear. He’s not only pissed off MAGA-world, but his colleagues on the court are stewing for rebellion. Eventually he’ll break when Kash finds out what Obama knows, and hands it to his boss. There are few secrets left in the swamp.

“You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps.... Their power [is] the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves.” ― Thomas Jefferson
