We have a Royal/Imperial Rubber Stamp Group with token opposition positions that cannot do anything to stop the religious ideologues of the majority. This is closer to the "courts" of Iran or Russia than to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The amount of prestige and respect that has been bled from that branch of the formally functional government cannot be over-stated.

Ever since Citizen's United and the stolen seats for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett, this court is a complete joke and the government of the country has been irreparably harmed and broken.

They destroyed our country and the US constitution.

They are traitors and deserve scorn and hatred for the rest of their lives.

The current Supreme Court is now useful to the formation of the Trump autocracy. The right wing justices think they are part of the team and issue rulings favoring the unlawful executive orders of Trump. But there will come a time when they all must realize that the Supreme Court will be made irrelevant and just a rubber stamp giving a thin veneer of lawfulness and legitimacy for the autocratic regime they supported. So when Trump threatens the very existence of the Supreme Court, will they cut their own throats by concurring with an EO which cuts off its staffing and funding?
