Roberts has to get back in line.
And this is the ruling that Trump wants more than any other.

The one case from the oversight committee should get his taxes because the law is very clear that they shall hand over the taxes.

This morning the Supreme Court issued orders from the justices’ private conference last week. The court did not grant any new cases for oral argument in the fall, but with another conference now scheduled for Wednesday, more grants could come as soon as Thursday morning.

sat through the entire trial in the Senate, and he really had to think about what Trump's presidency means in the broader scope of history, he can easily join with the progressive wing of the SCOTUS to bring about an end to it. His recent decisions show that he's not in lockstep with the Trump agenda.

Call me naive, but I have hope.
