As far as ideology is concerned, Roberts is conservative but less so than the Big Four...
...however, he is as domineering over the Associate Justices as any Chief Justice in a looooooooong time.
As Turley points out, Roberts is more chagrined by the lower court’s decision than he is by Trump's demand for absolute immunity.
I remember our SS poster who's a former Supreme Court clerk and who now teaches at an Ivy League law school, wink wink, suggesting that Trump had no chance of winning on his outrageous immunity claim.
After yesterday, that take... clearly fueled by deranged TrumpHate... ain't looking so good.
The bigger offense yesterday, from Roberts and others, is with the blank check that the DC Appeals Court gave to Jack Smith and Judge Chutkan, to grab a rope and hang Trump from the highest tree.
It seems likely now that the Court will, in some way, split the baby.
