A Supreme Court of the United States that has abandoned any and all tethering to the rule of law. As opposed to an "activist court", a pejorative term coined by the Republican Party to describe Supreme Court justices who interpret law based on precedent, law and the Constitution as opposed to say...the
Bible, a runaway SCOTUS features unelected justices tossing overboard
whatever mumblings they uttered about "Stare Decisis" (“to stand by things decided) during confirmation, and just makes shit up as they go.
• 50 year precedent of Roe vs.
Wade? "Meh...we know best what women want."
• ATF (firearm experts) determined bump stocks turn semi-automatic rifles into machine guns? "Well I'm Samuel Alito and that makes my
wife sad, so no."
• 250 year precedent of "No man is above the law"? "We think Trump might win, so let's make him King."
•
People with degrees in meteorology should oversee the National Weather Service? "We can look outside, too."
• Is "Insurrection"
bad? Well...we have two insurrection-adjacent wives, so that's awkward. "Let's make it not
bad."
• ProPublica keeps writing about Alito and Thomas taking bribes like it's a
bad thing. "Let's just legalize it."
