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.
Terrifying when democracy itself hinges on a handful of Republicans having a spine and choosing to not do the worst thing possible. I guess we'll find out...
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.
