"I dissent"

Monday's jarring Supreme Court decision granting former President Donald Trump (and going forward, any U.S. President) was met with condemnation far and wide, and left me wondering how Republicans will sell voters on a second Trump presidency that'll see him more restrained when A. they didn't restrain him the first time and B. now he can do as he wishes with almost no repercussions to worry about, judicially. It's not like he isn't teetering on the borderline of "violent rhetoric" while President before, mind you.

The dissenters include my guest, attorney Marshall H. Tanick, who's scathing op-ed appeared at GeorgiaRecorder.com yesterday.

Meanwhile, Lisa Graves, host of the "Grave Injustice" podcast, appeared on the Daily Beast's "The New Abnormal" podcast to claim that Chief Justice John Robers will go down as "one of the worst chief justices" in American history - and that was nearly six weeks ago. I shared her scathing rebuke.

As for Georgia's case against Trump? Who knows, but this ruling does present the Fulton County district attorneys' office new challenges, for sure. I eavesdropped on some insights given by Georgia State University professor Anthony M. Kreis on both "Closer Look" on WABE-FM and the AJC's "Politically Georgia" podcast yesterday

Had to do that because I can't (yet) convince him to spare five minutes for my show (yet). Eh, he's busy and wildly popular for cable news and the big broadcasters, so I'll cut him some slack.
