So much for all the hoo-hah that Miss Barrett, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh would make the slightest difference. Thanks to them, Clarence Thomas and Alito, we have no 5-4 Court but a 9-0 Court.

Thomas and Alito wanted to hear the case. Decision then was 7-2 against hearing the Texas filing.

They would have heard the case. They at least care about the Constitution.

You misread that. Trump's three appointees didn't want to hear it.

ONLY Thomas & Alito would hear it.

This is why COURT PACKING was put forth by Biden & co.

Perhaps the Court decided it was better to remain nine and outlast Biden than have their little corner diluted and politicized by Democrats expanding the Court.
