On the cusp of its historic election ruling, CJ Roberts is staring down a bizarro SCOTUS legitimacy crisis. (1/4)
The left is the side that’s been increasingly doubting the court’s legitimacy, but if/when the TX case gets dismissed, the right—80% of whom think Biden somehow stole the election—may be irate. (2/4)
This makes it imperative for Roberts to forge a unanimous consensus for whatever tack the court takes. (3/4)
If he does, Roberts could go a long way toward removing the shadow under which SCOTUS has done business since the divided & divisive Bush v. Gore 20 years ago. (4/4)
