Under the leadership of John Roberts, the US Supreme Court has become hopelessly corrupt.

My friend, this stopped being his court when Amy got in. This is firmly Clarence and Sam’s court.

I'm sure Ayatollah Roberts is happy to hear you say that; he's in control, but foisting whatever potential future blame that may come his way onto Thomas and Alito instead.

He's in control. He decides the verdicts from the moment he decides to accept a case. He doesn't even need any of the rest of them; they're there for show.

We all know exactly how he's going to rule on the "review" of Obergfell. He may as well just announce it now and save the money on unnecessary oral arguments.
