The Supreme Court gets the last word. Usually.
After the court essentially turned presidents into kings with its recent presidential immunity decision, the three dissenters made known just how strongly they dissented. So strongly, in fact, that Chief Justice Roberts chastised them for being — well, dissentious.
Which later brought this rebuke of the Chief Justice by law professor Sherrilynn Ifil (in a conversation with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.)
“If you’re burning down the house,” Ifil suggested, “don’t get mad at those who call it arson.”
