TIL that the head of the US Supreme Court owns an island. People are protesting against his rulings. He is feeling isolated and angry. It's ruining his summer

He doesn't own the island but owns a house on it... But I do agree he should feel isolated for the absolute mockery of a court he helped shape.

If only there had been some way - any way - for him to have ruled in favor of human rights, and in ways that didn't favor religious zealots.

Alas, the bribes were just too big for him and the other Republican justices to resist.

Shunning, yes, it's time to bring back Social Shunning.

"Should you see Chief Justice John Roberts duck into Squid Ink coffee or the Port Clyde General Store this summer, consider letting him know exactly what you think of him and his illegitimate, ultraconservative court," Shaw Glaser wrote. "Yell, boo, whisper, weep audibly, give him the thumbs down or the finger, hand him a note, refuse to serve him." Becca Shaw Glaser
