I don't think you understand.
They've already contradicted themselves and don't even bother to explain why.
Because they don't care, they don't have to. They're the SCOTUS.
This ruling was a middle finger to America. Both the ideal and the people
But what you're saying is only true with a Republican in the position. They're more than happy to contradict themselves and decide that precedent does matter should power ever manage to change out of Republican hands again. And even then it'd only be the precedent that supports the ends they want.
What's pretty remarkable is how out of sync SCOTUS is with the lower courts too. But yeah - just instant "nope" from Roberts without even a nod and a wink. Docking disgusting.
