I no longer think the 6 conservative justices lean hard right, I believe they function as an arm of Heritage Foundation. SCOTUS actively works to implement 2025 plan.
Agreed... And I also suspect that they may also be agreeing to take cases which don't have a direct bearing on Project 2025, which creates opportunities for one of them to break from the rest of the majority and write a dissent.

In defensive of and fairness to the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025, the Federalist Society and of course some of the Justices ... those sponsors are only getting what they paid good money for, right? Cough... $267,000 RV... cough... mother's house bought... cough... private school fees paid... cough. I mean, it's not like the Republican appointees have gone completely rogue and are behaving unexpectedly, is it?
In the final sentence to the ICE detention story, Liz asks us, "How will SCOTUS justify that one?"
I honestly don't think they will. They don't have to. And they don't care. The United States is a Kritocracy. And to borrow from Andrew, it is run by the Howler Monkey wing.

I feel a great opportunity was missed by not referring to these as KKKavanaugh stops.
