"From a hearty handshake and Trump telling him, 'Thank you, won't forget it' last year to getting bypassed in the handshake line at this year's State of the Union, it's been a long strange trip for Roberts. And yet he wouldn't have it any other way because for Roberts, ritualistic humiliation is a small price to pay for dismantling the Voting Rights Act."
Chief Justice Roberts experienced a dramatic shift in his relationship with President Trump following his decision to strike down the Trump administration's tariffs. Once praised by Trump with a handshake and gratitude, Roberts now faces public disrespect, including being bypassed in the State of the Union handshake line. Despite this treatment, Roberts appears willing to endure such humiliation as a trade-off for his judicial accomplishments, particularly his role in dismantling the Voting Rights Act. Additionally, a severe blizzard affected the Northeast before bar exams without accommodation from examiners, and a court ruling determined that chat prompts used in legal defense preparation are protected from discovery.
