A doctor's view on Biden's debate

And more Democrats in Congress call for Biden to step aside

VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Monday, Jul. 08, 2024 THE LATEST The Roberts court just became the Founding Fathers' biggest nightmare By Hayes Brown Chief Justice John Roberts likes to present himself as an institutionalist, concerned with upholding the legacy of the Supreme Court. He has positioned himself as the voice of reason on a court that has swung steadily to the right since he was first confirmed to the role almost two decades ago. But this term, he authored a series of decisions that completely shattered the previous balance of power within the federal system. In opinions that on the surface show deference to Congress and the president, Roberts has managed to consolidate an unprecedented amount of power in the only branch of government that is entirely unelected.   Roberts' opinions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Trump v. United States fundamentally reject one of the key premises of the constitutional order. If you're an American reading this, you likely remember learning in school how the three branches of government — the legislative, executive and judiciary — operate through a separation of powers that distributes different parts of governing among them. A series of checks and balances prevents any one from assuming too much authority over the others.   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article. Read the full column here.
