For years, Supreme Court watchers mollified themselves (and others) with vague promises that when the rubber hit the road, even the ultraconservative Federalist Society justices of the Roberts court would put #democracy before #party whenever they were finally 🔹confronted with the legal effort to hold Donald Trump accountable for Jan. 6. 🔹
There were promising signs:
They had, refused to wade into the Trumpian efforts to set aside the election results in 2020.
They had, hewed to a kind of sanity in batting away Trumpist claims about presidential records
(with the lone exception of Clarence Thomas, too long marinated in the Ginni-scented Kool-Aid to be capable of surprising us, but he was just one vote).
We promised ourselves that there would be cool heads and grand bargains and that even though the court might sometimes help Trump in small ways, it would privilege the country in the end.
We told ourselves that at least six justices, and maybe even seven, of the most MAGA-friendly court in history would still want to ensure that this November’s elections would not be the last in history. Political hacks they may be, but they were not lawless ones.
On Thursday, during oral arguments in Trump v. United States, the Republican-appointed justices shattered those illusions.
This was the case we had been waiting for, and all was made clear
—brutally so.
These justices donned the attitude of cynical partisans, repeatedly lending legitimacy to the former president’s outrageous claims of immunity from criminal prosecution.
To at least five of the conservatives, the real threat to democracy wasn’t Trump’s attempt to overturn the election
—but the Justice Department’s efforts to prosecute him for the act.
These justices fear that it is Trump’s prosecution for election subversion that will “destabilize” democracy,
requiring them to read a brand-new principle of presidential immunity into a Constitution that guarantees nothing of the sort.
They evinced virtually no concern for our ability to continue holding free and fair elections that culminate in a peaceful transfer of power.

9/ Eventually, he settled on the #Liberals. His aim was to become #party leader, but he knew the best way would be to lure Liberal members away to form his own party. And that's exactly what he did.
The best party photographers are like snipers, Graydon Carter writes for Air Mail, fading into the background to “grab their subjects in unposed assemblies, and most often without their knowing it.” That makes Dafydd Jones the sniper’s sniper, the best of the best.
