These corrupt, lying fuckers also said they wouldn’t overturn Roe. This court needs to be dissolved and anyone who so much as bummed a cig from someone with business before the court needs to be imprisoned. You want your word to be law and the only oversight to be literal death? You need to be absolutely flawless at all times. None of this “well technically it’s not illegal” garbage.
The rule of law isn’t a supernatural force, it’s a bargain with the angry masses. If you don’t honor the bargain, why would they?
