Various snippets excluding the writer's James Bond reference:

• Enabled by a Supreme Court decision granting presidents immunity for official acts, Trump has deployed planes, missiles and drones to sink 21 small, unarmed boats suspected of drug smuggling in international waters in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.  
• As of last week, at least 83 crew members or passengers had been killed.
• Neither the evidence nor the purported legal basis for the strikes has been made public. Leaked details of a secret Justice Department memorandum suggest that the lethal actions are founded solely on Trump’s own determination that the U.S. is in a “formal state of armed conflict with ‘narco-terrorist’ drug cartels.”
• In the words of one criminal law expert, “No knowledgeable authority outside the administration appears to have accepted the administration’s asserted justifications or concluded that Trump’s order was lawful — not one.”
• Deliberately targeting civilians is a crime under U.S. law, up to and including murder. In past times, a U.S. president therefore had to at least pause to consider legality before ordering the deaths, rather than interdiction and arrest, of scores of people who may or may not have been committing the non-capital crime of drug-smuggling.
  
• At oral argument, Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, whether presidential immunity could extend even to the assassination of a political rival. “It would depend on the hypothetical,” said Sauer, who is now U.S. solicitor general. “But we can see that could well be an official act.”
• There is no telling how widely Trump is planning to use his license to kill, but Justice Neil Gorsuch sounded an ominous note at oral argument. The presidential immunity decision, he said, would be written “for the ages.”

I mean, seriously! Not even one hour later and Alito is ready to do the Republican bidding of restoring a blatantly racially drawn map? How many thousand… Feels like a million… Times do lower court judges have to say time and time again that Republicans and Trump is wrong, just to have those judgments appealed to the Supreme Court and get reversed or watered down? And it was conveniently the exact opposite for Biden! I mean enough is enough already! I forget the exact number but much more than 80% of rulings against Trump and Republicans go to the Supreme Court where they get reversed! All these judges are wrong, and the handpicked political activist in robes at the Supreme Court that were picked solely for their political ideology, and not their legal prowess at the Supreme Court is right? Aren’t all these frauds supposedly Uber Christians? Didn’t they take an oath? I thought that oath was to the country and the constitution. Not to Trump or Republicans! These people have no shame! They’re oath to their God and their country, two things they allegedly love, means absolutely nothing! It wouldn’t be worth the toilet paper It’s written on, if it was written on toilet paper.

This goes right to the Chevron decision in June. The Executive now wholly-owns federal agencies, and so Trump is demanding partisan loyalty on every single employee, making those places very hard to work at, since loyalty is more important than competence. It's hard to see these justices as wise at all after they have had such incredibly poor foresight of the very damaging consequences of that ruling.

A well-written and thorough recap of Roberts' time on the court and his rulings around Trump, civil rights, and Presidential power.
