    Why wouldn’t they just keep pretending to give a shit instead of actually stacking the court and putting a manufactured case up? They did the thing. They caught the car. Now they’re dealing with the fallout.

      Stacking the supreme court has benefits far beyond any single issue.

        But it also gave the game away. There’s more scrutiny than ever on the court, and Republicans have gotten thrashed in elections for a few years now.

        • All it takes is one bad election before we’re in a fascist theocracy. They don’t care if they’ve given the game away because they’ve changed the rules so they actually have a good chance at winning.

          Thinking that the GOP is on its way out is a very dangerous way to view things.

      I couldn’t really tell you but one thing you’ve got to remember is that politicians can be incredibly stupid.
