Chief Justice John Roberts is exercising the power he's craved

As the Supreme Court headed into its final week, the looming question was whether the leader of the country's judiciary would hew to his conservative instincts or moderate to shield the court's institutional interests in these frenzied political times. He did both. But where his views may matter most was in Thursday's decision that conclusively chokes off any federal challenges to extreme partisan gerrymandering.

The Chief': John Roberts' journey from 'sober puss' to the pinnacle of American lawWith the notable exception of that gerrymandering case, made possible with the fifth vote of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who succeeded retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, the annual term produced few blockbusters. Roberts, with Kavanaugh working in league at times, tried to diminish ideological differences among the nine. The court put off major cases on abortion rights, immigration and LGBTQ rights.

YOU STATE THAT YOUR COURT IS NON POLITICAL BUT THEN RULE ALONG PARTY LINES THAT IT IS NOT THE JOB OF FEDERAL COURTS TO MAKE SURE ELECTIONS ARE FAIR.

Roberts reinforces my favorite lawyer quote when faced with an irrefutable logical argument, “the law is not logical”. SCROTUS

I think I'm going to puke 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

What exactly is your role then. So patently obvious and egregious efforts to dismantle representative democracy are not worthy of federal judicial review? Stepping stone to revisiting Jim Crow laws?
