Oh, exclusivity is a wonderful state of being, until you have Democrats inside the gates and on your lawn. Ask the McCloskeys!
They won't be only 9 much longer if Biden gets into the Wh__e House. They know that too. Criticism and condemnation from the Dems, and perhaps threats; and the inevitable court packing if Biden wins. These are the factors.
We all know what's right; but it doesn't take a Milgram experiment to know there's a limit for every man.
Even RBG was against packing the court and publicly stated it. I truly doubt that the rest are in favor either. They aren’t like the McClosky’s. They are in the privileged protected class. McClosky’s were on their own.
Also, one more thing. If they ruled unanimously (against court packing - because this is essentially what the vote against the rampant corruption would be about) it could not be viewed as partisan. A unanimous Supreme Court vote is NEVER viewed as partisan.
Therefore, the radical Dems could not riot without having people push back - HARD.
