    “Separation of powers concerns and the importance of preserving judicial independence counsel against such appearances,” Roberts continued.

    Ah, but your sidekicks are free to cozy up with and accept bribes gifts from the very people trying to dismantle our democracy and who have business currently before the court. Very sane, very cool.

      Well yeah. One’s behind closed doors. The other is out in the open with letters.

    We might lose our democracy but we will always have those wonderful letters the Senate wrote to everyone who destroyed it.

      Isn’t the Senate supposed to have a Marshall who has authority to haul people in who ignore subpoenas and the like?

      The USA seems to have an awful lot of ‘regulations’ and ‘laws’ that have no real enforcement, it would seem.

      Enough of ‘courtesy’ and ‘expectations’ for all governmental things such as this. Anything that isn’t mandatory apparently will be ignored. Close the loopholes. Amend every law and regulation with the full expectation that every person it might be brought to bear to is a slimy grifter wannabe-fascist that will only listen to the very real threat of incarceration and jailtime from this point forward.

      Oh, and give the President 2, maybe 3 pardons max and none exercisable in the last year of office. Or something. Geez, anything.

        Yeah, for all the checks and balances supposedly baked into how the government operates, none of them seem to actually do much when pressed.
