Update2: Voters Tell Trump to Eat Sh*t on Day Before Supreme Court Tells Trump to Eat More Sh*t [View all]

As expected, Thomas and Alito chose to go down with Trump, no matter how bad it makes them look. They are old. They have been paid off. They are not looking at years of humiliation. Perhaps 9 million years in purgatory, but that is another kind of time.

On the opposite end of the scale, Barrett didn’t seem willing to throw away her career and hope of self-respect just yet. She was not ready to try to make up legal theories that make sense of Trump’s complete chaos.

Though it shouldn’t matter, the drubbing that Trump took in the Tuesday elections will matter. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch seemed unwilling to lie down on the tracks to try to protect Trump. If the public is rising up against their master, there is little chance that their loyalty will be rewarded. Having spent some time in fairly pricey schools, they probably are able to determine that Trump never rewards anyone for loyalty.

That leaves Roberts. He desperately hopes that history looks well on his stint as chief justice. He can’t save Trump at this point. He didn’t appear willing to try.
