The point: if those things happen, this decision matters not.

If you think all those things are in place, this really is the least of your worries.




This is part of the foundation that will make doing bad things the new plolitcal norm.


If the president is a crook and the senate is full of crooks, that's the foundation. This is a minor fixture.


Judicial complicity is not a minor thing.


Sure, but this is just a single decision, and who are the judges supposed to be complicit with? The current president? The last one? The next one? A specific party?


Complicit in the sense of helping to set the stage for future abuses. Not complicit in the sense of conspiring. SCOTUS has made quite a few bad decisions which set the foundation that I speak of.


The ruling certainly sets the stage for something. It's almost like they didn't want to actually rule, but rather set up a framework for making future rulings. I can't say I disagree with the approach.
