Yeah. So as you just referenced, July 1st of last year, Roberts authors this opinion granting sweeping new authorities and immunities to presidents and ex-presidents.

The Supreme Court last July said that essentially Trump is allowed to commit crimes while he is president. It says that he is immune from prosecution for virtually any criminal act he commits using the powers of the presidency.

And I think it sort of hangs over virtually everything that we've seen in the last two months in terms of these extravagant assertions of executive authority and kind of disdain at the idea that courts or any outside institution could act to check a president in any way.

It's like there's a straight line between some of the description of presidential power in that Trump versus United States case and sort of the predicament we find ourselves in.

And, you know, it was like measured language came out swinging. It's obviously like, you know, sort of an overstatement, but it is still unusual. The chief justice rarely kind of wades into the political fray in any way other than he issues his opinions. He does like this very, you know, annual year-end report on the state of the federal courts.
