Instead of a public bullying, why isn’t he resorting to the usual blackmail or bribery? Could it be the usual Chicago-style thuggery isn’t working?

Oh, I'm sure he and his accomplices have been keeping up the pressure, but I was wondering whether he has been told some justices might still rule against him.

I suspect he might also be laying the groundwork for an effort to first, marginalize the justices who vote against him, with a view toward eventually dissolving the Supreme Court and the rest of the judiciary once he becomes absolute ruler. I still suspect he's going to try to stay in office after his term expires, or he and his party are going to ensure that his successor will be a commie dictator.
