John Roberts: Everything You Didn’t Know About His Sh*tty Past
In our 42nd episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Alyssa dive deep into the past of the most uptight motherf*cker on the planet, Chief Justice John Roberts. From his early days as a “soberpuss” scholar, to playing the long game to gut the Voting Rights Act, to being the ringleader of malicious intent on the Citizens United ruling, to his obsession with being perceived as a Fancy Law Boy Institutionalist, this may be one of our most phony guys yet.

This I do know … without even watching: The current US Supreme Court is capable of institutionalizing the greatest miscarriages of justice in the history of this country. (ref: Corporations are People … Anonymous political donors … Gerrymandering … Supporting Monopolies … Undermining Civil Rights … etc.).

Most Republican judges in the Supreme Court all think Party over Law ! So we need to oversee their actions, maybe senture them for protection for Trump ! Many of their decisions now are more than questionable . Should we just add more to the Supreme Court should we impeach ? Think we the People are between a rock and a hard place !

You guys should have conversations with a person called alimcforever. She is a historian, and I think you guys would get along famously.

The "theory of original
intent" is used by "strict constructuralists" in much the same way the ancient alchemists used the "theory" of "phlogiston" – as cover for the fact that they don't have any theory.

Could you do an episode on Jim Jordan or Andy Biggs?
They are both suggested to have ties to Tr*mp and Epst*in going back to the 80's according to the S*scha R*ley story.
It would help explain why the House Oversight Committee is a paper tiger.
