The Quickness with Which the Supreme Court Has Become a Joke

Some of it's due to the surprising vacuity of John Roberts & the unleashing of Citizens United, but one thing that will be looked back on once we're finally out of the daily Trump Fog will be how shockingly quick the Supreme Court went from being the last unassailable thing in the land to just another pile of trash igniting the worst in everybody. Besides seating a curiously high number of judges for a single-term president and having those 3 just sitting there in robes waiting for him to order them to eat dog food off the floor for his own amusement and Clarence Thomas' record-setting corruption, Justice Alito has joined his colleague Thomas in having a wife who has no problem brazenly showing themselves to be very much in the Trump camp. Obviously it's not quite that simple, but how quickly it's all crumbled from being an aspirational place of absolute reverence to now partly owes itself to Trump's magic touch of enabling everybody to be the absolute shittiest versions of themselves, all while knowing there will of course be zero consequences for any shit they do.
