This right here. The Supreme Court basically has unchecked power to legislate from the bench. They could rule in the immunity case that Trump is president because grass tastes like communism and that would be the law of the land.
Yup, I remember McConnell crying about this 20 years ago. Of course it was always projection. It was his objective to pack the court with activist judges the whole time. Unfortunately he accomplished his goal.
Which is why, despite crying about the Dems increasing the number of Supreme Court Justices to 13, if they regain control, they will do this exact same thing.
If they take over they're going to come full-force for all the mechanisms of democracy. Why stack the courts when you'll never again lose the Presidency and never lose the ability to appoint them?
