    Of course he won’t. Anyone who expects him to have a shred of decency or ethics at this point is hopelessly naive.

      A slightly less naive take is that we’re getting these statements on public record, so that we can take action on them later (assuming that day ever comes 😓)

        Take action how. By who.

        Only chance you have to fix the Supreme Court is by Biden appointing more justices like FDR did. And he better do it before trump packs the place as a safety measure. Or some one shoots all the traitors.

          Technically, Congress can impeach and remove, but there’s no way that will happen. They can barely agree to give themselves pay raises, which is just about the only thing they ever agree on anyway.

          Impeachment by a future Congress was what I had in mind loosely. But I’m just one(1) person and not an expert on the subject. I suspect there may be options I do not see, but keeping a record is important to any future action on the matter.

    Good. It just means we have no obligation to follow the rulings of an illegitimate court.

      That’s right. The Supreme Court’s legitimacy comes from our collective acceptance of their legitimacy. It’s a bit circular, but they stop being legitimate once we stop seeing them as legitimate. They have no enforcement mechanism.

      I guess it would take multiple blue states blatantly disregarding their rulings to effectively send that message.

        The problem is that the cops and people with guns will happily enforce these rulings while we peasants can screw off.

      Right? And after all of Johnny boy’s grandstanding about impartiality and improving the image of the court and such. I wish someone would put each of these instances to Roberts like “ok so like how much shit are you full of? Are you unwilling or unable to get your boys in line? Because they’re making you look stupid bro”

    If I had a deathnote… MAYBE I wouldn’t write his name in it, but only if he notices all the corrupt government officials suddenly having unfortunate accidents, realize he has a chance to be a better person than they were, and then acts upon that chance promptly.

      Men like him don’t learn from things like that. The only way he would “learn” is if you specified he wrote a manifesto of regret, then committed suicide.

      All these bigots criticising him are discriminating against Christians, and hate God.
