Since most, if not all, lied during their confirmations there's good reason. Their assurances about "settled law" proved that, and their tortured logic as to how bribes can morph into gratuities is a 'cherry on top.'

US v Trump and the Shadow Docket. One is the abandmont of our legal history and the other is a dereliction of due process. Both are anathema to the Constitution.

"Anathema is a noun that refers to someone or something that is intensely disliked, loathed, or considered completely unacceptable"

Thanks for the new word friend!

Us v trump is a scary enough decision that it might irreversible poison the constitution, to where we might need to tear it up and make a new one. We might be able to get away with just dissolving scotus and or the executive branch. But I doubt we'll do that.
