    They’re not upending it. They’re basically shitting all over it.

    In the past couple of weeks alone, they’ve:

    • Ruled that people who participated in the J6 insurrection to obstruct the counting of votes cannot be charged with obstruction.
    • Made bribery legal
    • Made the President a king that is above the law (unless they say he isn’t)
    • Put Trump’s state conviction in serious jeopardy by ruling that evidence collected while he was in office is inadmissable
    • Given judge Cannon a roadmap to dismiss the Florida case against him with their blessing.
    • Stated that they don’t actually have to abide by any code of ethics and can basically do what they want.
    • Neutered Congress’s regulatory authority, forcing it to cede even more power to the executive branch

    These people could literally spend the 4th of july decreeing that the 2020 election was stolen, and Trump is therefore president for life and it wouldn’t even get me to raise my eyebrows at this point. Rulings across the country seem to be doing nothing more than paving the way for Trump’s return and making sure what few restraints existed during his first term are now gone.
