So the case is already lost then. Does anyone actually believe the Supreme Court isn’t politically motivated anymore?
I don’t know. I think there’s a possibility. Remember, they’re politically beholden to the GOP, not necessarily Trump. The wealthy donors might not like his plans either. Which is perfect, because Thomas was thinking about a cruise in south America anyway.
I hope you are right. I don’t think our democracy can take four more years of Trump.
It’s hugely political.
But they are self conscious that the public recognizes that, and sees them as illegitimate.
It’s going to be a judgment call regarding whether the legitimacy they will lose is worth having trump around.
I think it won’t b, because Trump isn’t an asset: he’s a liability.
If they can claim legitimacy AND get rid of Trump, that’s a win in their eyes.
