re: #132 Targetpractice

I’m personally finding it mind-boggling that the conservative side of the bench is being as blatantly partisan as they are. And that legal observers are seriously suggesting that the best we might hope for at this point is that Roberts kicks this back down to the lower courts to parse what is and isn’t a “presidential act.”

The entire goal is to delay, not to actually decide. So I fully expect them to send it back, after delaying that decision until the last possible moment. It keeps any trial decision from happening before the election. If Trump wins, they have nothing to worry about. If he loses, they also have nothing to worry about. They simply refuse to take up the case.

They will hope none of them will be held up to history for being cynical partisans. Because how could not making a decision be bad?
