Rule of Law Threatened

“Roberts laid blame at the feet of schools..failing to provide adequate civics education..His point is well taken, but there are roughly 1,770 federal judges across the country, & the judiciary is well-resourced. ..he should direct federal judges to get out in their communities and speak with students instead of blaming America’s struggling public schools.”

#LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety hired #JusticeRoberts to do one thing, and one thing only

To re-write the #UnitedStatesConstitution in full service to Leo's #UnitaryExecutive pipedream

So far #Roberts is performing according to script

Aided and abetted by #Alito and #Thomas of course
