"Ok yeah these states did a lot of racist voter suppression stuff so the government stepped in and oversaw everything and knocked down all that crap every time they try.

And it's been working and so for years now they haven't been able to do racist voter suppression crap because the government monitors and stops it.

So we don't need to monitor them any more because there's no more racist voter suppression"


"Also, I threw out sotomayor's insulin. She hasn't been in a diabetic coma for quite a while so she doesn't need it any more"

In relative terms, compared to the other Republican appointees, Roberts is the least bad. He has voted with the liberal Justices more often than the other republicans, and he did save Obamacare back in 2015.
