Today, Chief Justice Roberts strikes again.  

In a 5-4 opinion written by the Chief, the Court demonstrates that it is willing to change its standard of review of executive action when the president is named Trump. (1/x)
This is nothing more than a double standard. It should have been straightforward that the Trump administration had the discretion to take executive action to undo executive action that was unlawful from the start. (2/x)
As the dissenters (Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh) explain, the courts conspired to block a duly-elected president's agenda through delay, requiring layers of extra procedure to draw the process out for years. (3x)
This is a bad case of déjà vu from the Court's decision in the census case a year ago.

Chief Justice Roberts once again has failed to stand up for the institutional interests of the Court by allowing it to be weaponized for partisan ends. (4x)
