After striking down the Trump administration’s tariffs, Chief Justice Roberts has earned nothing but disrespect and abuse from the president he put in power. From a hearty handshake and Trump telling him, “Thank you, won’t forget it” last year to getting bypassed in the handshake line at this year’s State of the Union, it’s been a long strange trip for Roberts. And yet he wouldn’t have it any other way because for Roberts, ritualistic humiliation is a small price to pay for dismantling the Voting Rights Act. A blizzard took out the Northeast right before the bar exam and examiners… did not care. And another wrinkle in the AI legal advice discussion, with a different court ruling that chat prompts used in preparing a legal defense are shielded from discovery.
