is it SO fucking insane that we all know he's corrupt but he's still able to go to work and put on his fucking robe and ruin people's lives and we're meant to keep respecting that. fucking dogshit country
The GOP spent the last 2 decades getting to an overwhelming 6-3 majority on the court. They won't risk that over something they find as superfluous as integrity.
We are rapidly approaching a point where the SCOTUS can rule and states, or even the federal government will simply.. ignore it.
I'm not sure which party will cross that line, but we're real close. And when it happens, we almost immediately devolve into an epic shitstorm.
We have already reached that point. You've got Democratic-majority states that, despite Bruen, continue to pass legislation banning firearm types and features. Just like Republican states pass bans on abortions and birth control when Roe was still good case law. This shit happens all the time, and SCOTUS keeps working and slapping states and the fed. gov't down.
Yeah it would be sick if the judiciary was abolished.
