Roberts is worse. He sees what is going on and lets Alito and Thomas sully themselves as naked partisan hacks and simply shrugs his complicit shoulders. He COULD do something. He CHOOSES not to. One has to surmise he approves of the outcome. THAT is the most detrimental and diabolical. Don’t give me a pass and build his cover story for him. He owns this shit show

What is within Roberts' power to do?

Whether Roberts approves or not there is little he can do. He cannot dictate ethics, he cannot remove them from the court, he cannot demand they recuse. Alito and Thomas are what they have always been, partisan hacks itching to impose their will on the people, neither have ever had any use for the law or the constitution except how it can be used and twisted to impose their will. All they needed was enough less than stellar compatriots who could be corrupted, welcome Kavanaugh, Coney and Gorsuch
