Too late Roberts- you've allowed the court to devolve to such depravity that neither side thinks the court is impartial.

I think they view us as truly political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do. I would say that’s the main difficulty

The Roberts court destroyed the constitution, rule of law, and precedence. He isn't just a political actor, but a Benedict Arnold.

There's a reason its called precedent. Its established, highly regarded law. Seen as truth setting and foundational. When you overturn not just one such precedent, but all of the ones a political party has campaigned against, you're a political actor there John.
