re: #164 KGxvi

I doubt it. Three of the justices in US v Nixon were appointed by Nixon, and they ruled 8-0 against him (Rehnquist recused himself since he had worked in the Nixon Administration). Ginsberg and Breyer joined a unanimous court in Jones v Clinton as well. I don’t think the Courts will willingly concede power to another branch.

Those justices didn’t watch a lot of FOX.

This is a new era - being appointed back then still meant a certain level of competence and respect for the law, neither of which applies any more. Trump appointees are chosen for ideology, which directly translates to how much they believe in the cult. Competence is not required, either for appointment or confirmation, and is in fact a hindrance.

Republican Congresspeople now mostly belong to a destructive cult that is actively opposing the United States, which is a reality that would never have been countenanced previously. They have willingly conceded power to a network of oligarchs and criminals. I see no reason to believe the US courts cannot similarly be overcome by converting its members into insane cultists.
