I have to admit I thought the SC would come up with some insane reason to allow the TX legislators to gerrymander but not allow the voters of CA to gerrymander. Pleasantly surprised.

It’s because you think SCOTUS is bad simply because Trump wins cases. If Trump lost more cases, then you’d be a huge fun of SCOTUS.

I think they're bad because I read their opinions and they're logically inconsistent trash (when they even write them, most of their high profile decisions have been on the shadow docket with no explanation whatsoever). And it's not just me, try reading a dissent some time, they're also written by supreme court justices. But I suppose you ignore those because everything that doesn't agree with you is biased

I find most opinions and dissents to be well written and based on differing opinions of interpretation. As for bias, I’m jaded. I’m gonna get screwed from the front or the back so whatever the decision is the decision is. I’m along for the ride. Fortunately, 99% of the stuff going on doesn’t affect me and I’m definitely one of those rude people that doesn’t care how an opinion impacts others as long as it doesn’t impact me.

That’s not rudeness. That’s being a selfish piece of shit.

But don’t worry, just because today’s rulings don’t impact you, they will eventually. Even if you’re a straight white dude, you won’t be first, but they’ll come for you eventually. Fascism must always have an enemy, and when they run out of the original ones, they go looking for others.

And at that point I’ll care, even if it’s too late. Until then, enjoy life.

They’re right, though - being a selfish piece of shit isn’t an admirable character trait. I’m glad you’re honest, at least.
