In his presidential immunity opinion, Chief Justice Roberts accused Justice Sotomayor and the two other Democratic-appointed justices who joined her in dissent, of “fearmongering on the basis of extreme hypotheticals.”

He's wrong. Let me explain. https://t.co/q7LEVH6z0m

It isn't extreme to think that someone might abuse the power to break the law with impunity in a nation where, just a few short years ago, one of the candidates for the highest office in the land incited, willfully, an armed assault on democracy and other officers of their government in direct violation of the oath they took when they assumed the mantle of the presidency.

In fact, it would be incredibly naive to believe anything else. Chief Justice Roberts doesn't even believe what he is saying; he's only mouthing nonsense to try to distract the people of America from what a card-carrying Batman villain he is.

@rbreich I can only hope that Biden can stand as firm as FDR did in the face of even more overwhelming opposition. The office of the Presidency was irremediably tarnished when we allowed Trump to seize it the first time around; if he succeeds in taking it again, he'll dispense with even the trappings of democracy and openly wear the mantle of the autocrat.
