In reply to the discussion: Here's a way that Congress can invoke the 14th Amendment insurrection clause against Trump [View all]paleotn
(17,781 posts)20. Why wouldn't Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and even Barrett not side with the others?
They have on Trump v. NY in 2020 and Trump v. Vance, Trump v. Mazars in 2019. Bostock v. Clayton County was a massive loss for the Trump admin and his core constituency, the religious right. Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion on that one. There's really only 2 reliable judges for the Donnie and the Repukes, Alito and Thomas. The rest lean left or are unreliable.
Why folks think someone given a life time appointment owes anything to the appointee is beyond me. That's the whole point of life time appointments. It's not like they're golf buddies or something. Hell, Donnie has no fucking clue who these people were, other than they were names on a list he was given and the one he should pick was underlined.

Why do you assume that all 6 conservative justices would vote in Trump's favor?

I think the House managers, House and Senate know better than any of us what SHOULD have happened

There does seem to be a certain bent to these demands and criticisms, doesn't there?
