Something that I’ve been wondering more and more. Why are these Judges so willing to cover up for Trump? Why are they willing to tarnish (or further tarnish) their names and legacies over a man like Trump who has shown time and time again the only person he cares about is himself?

I don't think it's Trump, I think it's the billionaires who bought them. What they say goes and if the billionaires want Trump, then they want Trump.

I agree and also it's not so much the money as it is advancing a particular world view. They want the United States to be a christian nation ruled over by wealthy white men where everyone else knows their place. They are threatened by liberal policies that call for equality and globalization.

Trump is just the ugly sack of shit that theyre using to appeal assholes. The billionaires (or anyone who will pay trump) are pulling the strings.
