How in the hell could the 3 judge appeals court panel justify the illegal firing of members of the panels put in place to protect the rights of Civil Service and Veteran workers is totally beyond me. Now the question is, WWTCRCD? What Will the Corrupt Roberts Court Do?

Such good news as there is that at risk of being caught having insufficient cynicism towards the Roberts court, I’m not sure that there are five votes to hold that the checks and balances thing is dead. There was that EPA decision a couple of years ago that held that Congress dictates how the money it distributes is used and that POTUS’ hands are somewhat tied when it comes to going too far. Roberts has been consistently enough sensitive to appearances so that’s four votes for limits on Trump. Not sure about Barrett.
That speculation notwithstanding, the problem noted in the Balinization piece of course extends to any adverse-to-Trump SCOTUS decision. It’s not like mobsters respect some courts and not others.
Democracy relies on good faith. Without it, there’s nothing. And we’ve had pretty much none since at least 1995.
