Man the SC has done a horrible job handling this. Between the Trump immunity case and overturning Roe, I don’t see how it doesn’t result in significant SC reform over the next 10-20 years. Term limits, ethics codes, limits to what they can and can’t overturn. It’s basically 6 idiots not realizing they’re going to make the court everything they don’t want it to be due to their corruption and partisanship

The safest and smartest play was just not to take the case and leave the lower court’s ruling in place. If trump won in November they could revisit and if not they won’t look like the corrupt kangaroo court they are.

Just stupidity and naked authoritarianism at play.
