Melissa MurrayHOST
It's big.
Melissa MurrayHOST
I learned from watching you, John Roberts energy.
Leah LitmanHOST
Exactly.
Melissa MurrayHOST
Sure did.
17 MINS LATER
Leah LitmanHOST
Yes.
Melissa MurrayHOST
Not unconstitutional at all.
Leah LitmanHOST
No. Um, but reading Bettina's account [laughs] and response made me wonder, did John Roberts or Clarence Thomas write her statement? Because the reasoning sounds an awful lot like the Supreme Court's opinion in McDonnell versus United States, which threw out a conviction for public corruption where a governor and his wife allegedly received a bunch of money for, among other things, and gifts, for their daughter's wedding
Melissa MurrayHOST
weddingWe're going to take a short break right now, but when we come back, we will be joined by Crooked's own Alex Wagner to talk about her fantastic new book, The Steal.
Harry LitmanHOST
You don't purport to be giving a compendium DSM-6 of cowardice.
Harry LitmanHOST
But nevertheless, what happened to people in childhood figures into the Megyn Kelly profile and McConnell and John Roberts, I'd say.
Harry LitmanHOST
Bezos for sure.
Harry LitmanHOST
Bezos, I had no idea of his very, very humble roots.

Harry LitmanHOST
We'll leave that to the side as a Litman editorial comment.
Harry LitmanHOST
Okay.
Harry LitmanHOST
John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States.
Harry LitmanHOST
You know, a lot of people I think by now, and inaccurately based on your account in my sense as well, think of him as sort of being hand in hand with Trump.
Mary TrumpHOST
I'm a writer, activist, and clinical psychologist, and I started Mary Trump Media in part to call out the damage Donald and his enablers continue to do to our country.
Mary TrumpHOST
This was a 5-4 ruling for which I hold Chief Justice John Roberts responsible.
Mary TrumpHOST
And as Obama said, it allows corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts of their own money trying to influence elections as long as that spending remained independent of candidates.
Mary TrumpHOST
16 years later, the amount of political money whose original source voters cannot identify has reached record levels.
Mary TrumpHOST
That would be the dark money groups, the Brennan Center for Justice, points out have spent at least $1.9 billion influencing federal races in 2024.
Mary TrumpHOST
That's nearly double the previous record.
Mary TrumpHOST
This is a perfect storm of those dark money groups, nonprofits, and shell companies that are in it to reshape the United States of America in their image, because essentially what John Roberts and his corrupt, illegitimate majority on that court have done is equate corporations with people and say that money is speech.
Mary TrumpHOST
Therefore, the more money you have, the more speech you were allowed to engage in.
Brad PresnellGUEST
I don't, you know, I think it'll be kind of a primer to what's going to come in November.
Brad PresnellGUEST
I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket on it and say, well, if any Robinson gets, you know, slaughtered and the liberal wins that, you know, Sam is going to lose and John Roberts is going to lose, et cetera.
Brad PresnellGUEST
So I think it's something to watch.
Brad PresnellGUEST
But again, I don't think it's something that we just have to say, oh, this is going to be what's going to happen, you know, in 50 days or so.

Dale JacksonHOST
I want to know their worldview.
Dale JacksonHOST
So Jenny Robinson is in the fight for a job here.
Dale JacksonHOST
So if that race goes to Jenny Robinson, would that make you, if you were Sam Gavan and John Roberts, feel good about it or irrelevant?
YaffePANELIST
No, I think it would make him feel good.

Marc EliasHOST
That bear controls the FBI, controls the Department of Justice, and is not constrained by any norm or any law or any rule.
Marc EliasHOST
That bear has immunity, thanks to John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the United States and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Marc EliasHOST
So maybe the bear shouldn't be worried.
Marc EliasHOST
So yeah, I'm worried because I think the bear is in the woods and I think it's dangerous.
Jeff StilesHOST
You had Ari Fleischer.
Jeff StilesHOST
You had John Roberts all coming out going, what the hell are you doing? You know why,
Clint PowellHOST
though? Shit.
Clint PowellHOST
You know why? Because the Democrat wins next time.
Brian EngelmanHOST
Yeah, by the rogue justices and the not Trump aligned Supreme Court.
Brian EngelmanHOST
What do you mean not Trump a lot? Yeah, Amy Coney Barrett's been an absolute disaster, as has John Roberts.
Brian EngelmanHOST
Now, not as bad as Katonji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor.
Brian EngelmanHOST
However, it's not like he has the Supreme Court.
Bill HandelHOST
You know, you know what he does is, first of all, he has the court on his Supreme Court on the issue with the ballroom national security.
Bill HandelHOST
The court said or I think John Roberts, Chief Roberts said that even though he'll probably lose, he temporarily can go forward because the argument they're making is it doesn't matter what the court says.
Bill HandelHOST
We're almost done with it.
Bill HandelHOST
And that's exactly what's going to happen here.
Thom HartmannHOST
Six of the firm's 11 partners clerked for Clarence Thomas.
Thom HartmannHOST
Another clerked for John Roberts.
Thom HartmannHOST
Alyssa Bowen of True North says Leo is, quote, seeking to impose his agenda on all Americans by weaponizing the court system.
Thom HartmannHOST
We don't know who the real donors are, and that's the whole point.
