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.
