What came before that:
- Several members of the US SC have been compromised (Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and possibly others) by having been photographed/filmed at sexually explicit events with minors.
- In the case of Kavanaugh this was even dangled in front of his eyes at his confirmation hearing to make sure he understood he was to walk the line or else.
- Cases were brought in front of the SC to make sure they could rule on “Presidential immunity”
- Even though this empowered Joe Biden to unprecedented levels of presidential impunity, he choose to do nothing with it and let the the his AG continue his slow work on trying get anything to stick on Trump, or attempt to push.
- Under Obama II, Mitch McConnell succeeded in preventing liberal justices to be confirmed in the Senate, leaving a notorious psychopath/narcissistic sociopath to fill 3 conservative justices in a single term, despite being one of the least popular presidents of all time.

Hope the supreme court is happy to see the country burn…

Whack people in the face with big wads of cash for long enough, and they numb out.
…and I’m generously assuming nothing more sinister was in play.

I think there is something more sinister but thats another topic. Its not hard to see how America has really turned evil the last 10 years.
