SCOTUS no longer even pretend to care about the Constitution, stare decisis, the law, or justice. The court is openly corrupt, and ideologically motivated. It has a White/Christian nationalist agenda it is going to see enacted. We can keep pretending this isn't so, or that former norms and checks are in place, but they are not. SCOTUS either rules directly for Trump, or stalls/defers rulings to Trump's benefit.

We are a de facto dictatorship. Procedures, jurisdiction, laws and processes are no longer followed. This administration does whatever it pleases with very little consequence.

This whole issue will be litigated all the way up to the election, will then be used to cause chaos during the election, and then pushed to SCOTUS after the election as an "urgent" matter. The six wholly owned justices will then rule in whatever manner gives MAGA the win.

I have been warning about this since Bush v. Gore.
