Via Elie Mystal:
"It may sound like #JohnRoberts was saying that #Trump should litigate his disagreements with Judge #Boasberg in the normal way, but what he’s really saying is that Trump should feel free to ignore lower court orders until #SCOTUS has a chance to weigh in. ...
Roberts is trying to maintain the appearance of power in the face of a president who has shown no inclination to respect it"

@GottaLaff Did people not realize this? I almost thought it went without saying.
@isaackuo Apparently not
That's very scary. This was @heidilifeldman's impression too.
@mastodonmigration @GottaLaff I was posting Mystal’s piece as MM was posting this!
@GottaLaff Roberts is saying ignore court orders all the way to the SCOTUS so that Roberts can give his personal approval
@GottaLaff If that is what he is saying, they should call an emergency session and resolve this quickly before they kidnap more people for slave camp.
@GottaLaff
I do think that is the case and had said so on some platform.
@GottaLaff I've always said the #1 SCOTUS case they decided incorrectly was Marbury v Madison.
