The John Roberts Dilemma

Chief Justice John Roberts, is an inept, disingenuous paper tiger, whose tenuous rein over the United States Supreme Court has been marred by mismanagement, overt corruption, twisted logic (in the court's upside down, inside out decisions), and obfuscation from legitimate Congressional oversight. But the kicker is a recent, shocking Immunity decision (on top of several other equally bad ones rolling back decades of precedent or settled law) that muddies the waters in a brazen power grab by an amoral top court gone rogue. The US Supreme Court used to be the crown jewel of the American judiciary. But it has now devolved into a patronage mill where three of the nine justices perjured themselves during their confirmation hearings. Two long-term conservative justices are election deniers, garden variety insurrectionists, who wear their MAGA bona fides on their robes (and multiple houses and $1,000,000,000 mobile home), which they could easily change out from black to white with no notable distinction except for one big, dark fellow born and reared Catholic in the sweltering, steamy swamps of coastal Georgia; judges who shamelessly take bribes from powerful, monied interests that act much like a wizard behind the proverbial curtain, codifying their unscrupulous misconduct by self-serving rulings, while acting as if their heavy duty corruption is no longer constrained by the checks and balances, baked into the Constitution that bound the rest of us to the rule of law while these henchmen (and women) for wealthy conservative elites run amok. No patriotic American who honestly believes in a level playing field; that no one person is above the law; and that status, race, class, celebrity and office is no protector of this fundamental doctrine, which has always been foundation of our democracy, believes this whitewashing of American history. Our ethos is enshrined in the tattered remnants of a frayed Constitution and our struggling, young democracy; one that is teetering on the brink of dissolution. We cannot defer the American dream to monied interests. We need to take back this country. And embrace proportional representation where rural states with sparse practically Lilly-white populations and conservative interests do not run roughshod over the rights the vast majority of Americans want, which is the freedom of choice, equal opportunity, agency, and self-determination.
