@Nonilex but that's not how the Supreme Court works.
So you're basically promoting a conspiracy theory here that just doesn't match the real world.
The Supreme Court sitting as a court of appeals doesn't get to decide who does and does not go to jail in general. That's just not within its authority. So these stories just don't make sense to anyone familiar with basic US civics.
And yeah, it is a conspiracy theory to talk about people getting together to coordinate for some end goal like that.
The US government was specifically set up not to allow the sort of stories that this is promulgating.
