Prominent jurists have held Roberts responsible for emboldening Trump's drive towards an authoritarian presidency. J Michael Luttig, who served on a federal appeals court for 15 years, put the criticism starkly.
"The chief justice is presiding over the end of the rule of law in America," Luttig told the Guardian.
In Luttig's view, the court under Roberts is "acquiescing in and accommodating the president's lawlessness. And it is doing so without briefing, without argument, without deliberation – and without even a single word of explanation of its decisions."…
"The supreme court was never intended to function like this. Never before has it entertained such challenges from the president, and never before has it decided them so flippantly."
