The hinges on the meat chasm closed for all conservatives on 24 June 2022.
Why does the choice of a few select people mean that a huge number of people are now terrible?
When you don't actively kick out the terrible people in your group, you are making a choice to say "this is something I am willing to tolerate." So I'll ask, if you are a conservative and recognize that there are bad actors in your conservative party, are you calling out those bad actors? Or just putting your head down and joining rank and file because your party told you to?
Also, it's basically impossible to get rid of supreme court justices, and for good reason. It allows them to rule on cases based only on what they legitimately believe to be the correct decision. The supreme court's job isn't to decide right from wrong, it's to decide legal from illegal. If you don't like their ruling, the way to change it should be through Congress, not though the courts.
I wish I was this blissfully ignorant.
What other reasons would they have to make the rulings they do?
