   Just had time to catch up with the news. Before it gets lost in hue and cry about shots fired at the Trump golf course, I urge you to attend to the news of Chief Justice John Roberts’ unusual and aggressive efforts to protect Donald Trump from criminal prosecution. The New York Times broke the store, here https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/15/us/justice-roberts-trump-supreme-court.html?unlocked_article_code=1.K04.kXFD.AVR1c4n1tAcb&smid=url-share (gift link) and the Daily Beast recaps it here https://flip.it/Wp7VPv .

   The reporting doesn’t quite capture the significance of what Roberts did. 1/

   #SCOTUS was hit by a flurry of damaging new leaks Sunday as a series of confidential memos written by the chief justice were revealed by The New York Times.
