Trump Thanks Chief Supreme Court Justice on Mic: 'Won't forget it'

Donald Trump thanked Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and added that he "Won't forget it" after delivering a speech to Congress Tuesday night. "Thank you again. Thank you again. Won't forget it," he said, shaking Roberts' hand and then tapping the George W. Bush appointee on the arm. Last year, Roberts authored a decision granting former presidents sweeping immunity from prosecution, in effect helping Trump avoid facing trial for trying to overturn the 2020 election. He had been indicted for offenses relating to his alleged election subversion in Washington, D.C., and in Georgia.

Lately, though, Roberts hasn't been quite so submissive, having twice in a row joined liberal Justices to vote against Trump.

But let's don't get our hopes up that Roberts has finally grown a conscience.

It's going to take more than a couple bi-partisan decisions at the Supreme Court level to convince me that Roberts is doing anything more than setting us up for Grand Finale' decision to turn American democracy into a fascist regime.
