Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has been left “shaken” by the unexpected public reaction to his ruling in the Donald Trumppresidential immunity case, a columnist wrote Friday.
Slate’s judicial writer Dahlia Lithwick wrote that Roberts was left shocked that Americans didn’t buy his attempt to persuade them that his ruling was not about Trump, but instead focused on the office of the presidency. The court ruled that a president was largely immune from criminal prosecution for official actions.
Lithwick referenced a report by CNN’s Joan Biskupic. He “was shaken by the adverse public reaction to his decision affording [Donald] Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution," she wrote.
"His protestations that the case concerned the presidency, not Trump, held little currency.”

See, people just assume that if you don’t agree with the general ideology, you are an enemy.
I tend to agree with most socially “left” ideas, but because I don’t want tax money to go toward wars or abortion as a form of birth control, I am a totalitarian piece of shit.
There is no nuance anymore. It’s always: “you are either with us or against us” mentality. And there is absolutely NO WAY you can tell me that’s not the case (at least on social media).
You’re the one that came in with “Democrats bad”. This was about “of course presidents shouldn’t have immunity FFS.”
