Chief Justice Taney is laughing from hell today.
He is very pleased to no longer be the worst Chief Justice in history.
When asked to comment, Satan said this: "At least Taney was honest about his racism. The same can not be said about Roberts and Alito. So we are creating a new level in Hell for them. We already have a special level for Thomas."
To personalize this at the feet of the Chief Justice is naive.
Don't like a ruling? Fine, though I think it shows that you probably misunderstand the ruling. But either way, the ruling comes after a whole army of judges and experts have looked at the question and decided it in this direction.
It's just foolish to frame it as the personal choice of an individual who played only a minor role in the whole thing.
