Hey I’ll be brutally honest: I have precisely zero trust in the integrity of the court system in vast swaths of the country, both at the state and federal level, and the current USSC is nakedly, undeniably partisan and completely fucked.
It got this way because one whole side of our political establishment worked for literal decades to slowly corrupt and undermine the system, and the other side pretended it wasn’t happening. And now we’re here. I’ll be shocked if Biden does anything about it in the months he has left, so unless Harris gets in office and either immediately packs the court, (or, invites the Tribunal of Six somewhere special, goes “🔫 fuck you, official act”, and then appoints six new justices and railroads their confirmation), I don’t see this changing without political violence.
