Excellent and informative discussion. Although I am a lawyer, your narrative is clear enough that non-lawyers should be able to appreciate it as well. Thank you

I mean, the operative question is this:

How stupid is John Roberts?

Knowing Trump was coming into office, knowing trump had a history of lawyers being disbarred for ignoring court orders at his instruction, knowing the open contempt Trump has shown for the judiciary time and time again, would John Roberts have really written a fiery screed against the disrespect for the judiciary and the dangers of ignoring court orders when he didn't intend to hold Trump to account?

Was he that stupid?

After the immunity decision? God save us all.
