You might feel that way, but I won't. On the contrary, I will believe that the reaction that we are seeing right now is symptomatic of the same malaise that led to Trump being elected and elected again. We shouldn't need the Supreme Court to save us from that.

I'm not sure you and I are defining "worst" the same way.

Edited many hours later to add: this is just the start of what I think the worst will entail.

But that "worst" won't be because of anything the Supreme Court has done or hasn't done. It will be because the American people have collectively lost their mind.

And over the top reactions like this one are as much an indication of that as the actions of Trump and his supporters:

This substack post from Steve Vladeck about the oral argument is well worth reading.
