Looks like maybe because he's breaking checks and balances? (slrpnk.net)

So the supreme Court is fucked, but everyone else seems to be solid? Good to know.

    Actually, Amy Coney Barrett has joined Kavanaugh in some unexpectedly sound rulings as of late. She also gave Trump a sneering scowl as he walked past her at the SotU. I’m not convinced they’re in his pocket just yet.

    I don’t know, it appears more like more that there’s a 6-3 split, they’re picking cases to bluewash (centrist-wash maybe) their record one justice at a time.

    Roberts wants to keep the court looking as legitimate as possible, so each Justice gets to pick a case that is easily 6-3, dissent and make it a 5-4 decision so it still goes through, and look like they have a brain, and not just Leonard Leo’s hand up their ass.
