Let’s see, imagine you are 1 of the 9 Supremes - you have dedicated your life to the study of the law, and having reached the pinicle of your career - you are given a LIFE-long appointment to the highest court of the land. You never run for election, you serve your post until you either die, or decide to resign it.

Now - some Congress-critter decides that you need to be threatened to decide a bill before you. How would you respond?

If I were ‘on the fence’ before, I’d have a very strong opposition now. People don’t like to be threatened; especially by bed-wetting, incompetent and impotent fools.

Well, that covers about 5 of the Supreme Court justices and definitely not at least three of them (all female).
