i think the best way to understand the supreme court's conduct in trump v. united states is as an explicit effort to intervene in the 2024 election on behalf of the former president. it is a gross abuse of power on par with dred scott and deserves to be met with sanction from the elected branches.
even if we avoid the worst consequences of this decision — which, as rick says, involve trump getting elected and then pardoning himself for his attempted coup (and likely trying again) — the court's actions should be seen as grounds for dramatic action to curb its power
From Bush v Gore to Citizens United to Shelby, the Republican Court keeps emphasizing how little regard they have for voters. To be fair, if I was an unelected emperor-king with a lifetime appointment, I’d also be dismissive of democracy.
I don’t know you but I would hope you think better of yourself. After all, there are three justices on there who aren’t corrupt. If I were a Justice with a lifetime appointment I would be like them, no question, despite all the other faults I may have.
