Well, I know everybody’s (justifiably) depressed by today’s events. Kavanaugh’s decisions will be horrendous, but I think what people worry about most is the SCOTUS ruling that a sitting President is above the law—that theory being Kavanaugh’s selling point.

I’m sure Thomas and Gorsuch will go along with that, and I don’t know enough about Alito to have an opinion, but I have a feeling that might be a bridge too far for Roberts. He probably doesn’t want to literally, explicitly overturn landmark decisions like Roe, Griswold, Brown, etc., either—gotta keep up appearances. Just keep whittling away at their implementation.

IMO, it will be easier to deal with that later than starting from scratch with a complete overturn. Now if tRump gets to replace Ginsburg or Breyer, then it’s all over….
