Pay attention to their words, they’re always telling on themselves. #fascism

#SCOTUS heard oral arguments yesterday in #Trump v. Slaughter over Trump’s ability to fire FTC members and other independent agencies.

Centrist hero Chief Justice John Roberts calls a 1935 Supreme Court ruling to district presidential power a “dried husk.”

Yet he has no problem reaching back centuries for misogynistic & racist laws to expand hate. Decency politics & complacency are our biggest threat. #uspol

That's not what Robert said, if you listen to even his entire phrase, much less his entire sentence.

He described Humphrey's as "a dried husk of whatever people used to think it was," saying that understanding of the ruling has dramatically changed over the years.

Adding in that context, he's saying the exact opposite of how you're framing it.
