For a long while he seemed to care about not being seen as a complete monster. Now, he clearly no longer cares.

Yes, there used to be a sense that he respected the Constitution and the law but now he's fully aligned himself with the cult. I don't think he's a true believer at all yet this is the path he's chosen, overseeing the end of democracy.

I don't know what his game is. He saved Obamacare but he's also been ok with some deeply problematic opinions, He wrote the opinion in Trump v US. By last year he no longer cared if he is remembered as a monster.
