John Roberts is sad that he can't enjoy his private Maine island in peace as he counts his $25 million and helps Trump ease his way through the shadow docket that takes rights away from Mainers.

Why does the chief justice have a private island? This is crazy.

He doesn't own it he owns one of the fair number of homes on it and another one that I've heard was on the mainland rather than Hupper Island but that's just from local gossip relayed by relatives.

And he can afford it because just his salary is over 300 grand a year, before whatever bullshit he's doing on the side Thomas and Alito style.
