I don’t think he is anywhere near a chilling effect on the liberal justices.

They main problem we have with SCOTUS is that they don’t have to GAF what anybody says.

That is good if the person has principles, but has problems if they are grifting trash.

The thing he should be complaining about is the bribes - I’m sorry, speech - that the justices are taking. But since he gets 8 figures of speech by consulting gigs for his wife, there is no chance the Chief Grifter will tackle the real problem.
