@LGS the thing is, the Supreme Court hands out public arguments to back its positions, and they're there to be scrutinized.

We don't need to delve into dark conspiracy theories like this. We can read the rulings for ourselves to see if they hold up.

What matters is the argument laid out in the rulings, not the personal backstories of justices.
