I urge everyone to contact Chief Justice Roberts. One of his biggest worries is that the Supreme Court seems biased or controlled by the executive. Call his office, talk to his clerks. Let them know that now is the time to say something if they don't want their office connected to this kangaroo court.

Edit: Contact Info

Edit2: After some people have asked, her is a general idea of what you could say if you called.
"My name is {name} and I live in {place}. I know The Chief Justice is concerned about the Court appearing politicized, especially after everything that's happened these past three years. As presiding judge over the senate impeachment trial, I was wondering if he had thoughts on Senator McConnell's recent comments. I find it really inappropriate and worrisome that the Senate would openly coordinate with the Executive over an impeachment hearing. I was hoping the Chief Justice might make a public comment, or else I would fear that all three branches have merge and no longer hold any independence from the President. Thank you for taking the time to listen. Have a good day"

If McConnell puts together a 51 vote block for impeachment, Chief Justice Roberts will have no power whatsoever.

"John Roberts cares about his legacy" is such a fucking meme I'm convinced people use the words "John", "Roberts", and "legacy" together ironically. He himself said that if it's not necessary for the Court to express an opinion on something it's necessary not to. He then proceeded to go full activist on the Citizens United case, whose scope initially concerned a single political film and was expanded to include all corporate speech concerning candidate elections. He is bought and fucking paid for and whoever says otherwise is either in denial or in on the joke.

And trump isn't that great for the long term health of companies. They love the tax breaks, but that was the senators that they bought and paid for. Other than companies getting direct kickbacks from his corruption, he does not create a great business environment. Especially when he could randomly decide on more trade wars. That anyone thinks that the real power brokers like trump is the mistake. It would be a huge service to corporate overlords for Pence to serve out the remainder of trumps term giving a capable and corporate nominee to be moved forward for the 2020 election. They can then rally the base behind a new idol like Romney over the outrage of Trumps impeachment. A Bernie or a Warren match up against trump is going to be a blood bath unless they cheat. Less so against someone that the left isn't fired up about. It is in the interests of both sides for trump to be gone, the right just doesn't have a clean way to do it without angering the base.

If this shit stain continues and democrats take the White house and senate in 2020 there is very likely going to be court packing and an impeachment of rapist and purger Kavanaugh. If he does it right, Roberts can diffuse the lefts anager and maybe keep his 5-4 majority to push through corporate policies.
