      The doublethink being flagrantly exhibited by the court at this point should beggar belief… but honestly, I don’t think anybody is surprised anymore. To be perfectly frank: we expect it. Overall national confidence in the integrity of the Supreme Court is fairly shattered nowadays.

      I guess Roberts’s plan to burnish his historical legacy is to help the Republic of Gilead establish itself and ask them to build him a statue in exchange. What a fucking limpdick.
