The Nakedly Corrupt Supreme Court Needs to be Broken

And it is not just the 6 conservatives.

Doe the past 25 years, the liberals on the court have refused to call the bat-sh%$ insane rulings, particularly in the shadow docket, while refusing to call out the partisanship, corruption, and profoundly bad lawyering of their colleagues/

In yet another unsigned  ruling. the Supreme Court allowed the racially driven Texas mid census redistricting to proceed.

Basically, the Court decided to make up its own facts to justify their decision.

Roberts Court Republicans use shadow docket to refuse to allow its precedents to be applied because it would be an electoral disadvantage for the Republican Party

And in doing so shows its typical unbridled contempt for federal judges who try to apply rules other than “Trump wins”:
Notably, in assessing “irreparable harm” that Texas would face, the court also stated, “The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections.”

This is, however, a function of the timing of the Texas legislature’s action — not the challengers or three-judge district court (whose 2-1 opinion was authored by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown, a Trump appointee and former Texas Supreme Court justice) — and it’s astounding to see an unsigned Supreme Court order accusing a lower court of such a “improper[]” act in this fashion.

[…]

But on Thursday, Kagan continued, “this Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision.”

Noting that the Supreme Court’s order “disrespects the work of a District Court that did everything one could ask to carry out its charge” and “disserves the millions of Texans whom the District Court found were assigned to their new districts based on their race,” Kagan went on to detail the district court’s actual trial work and legal conclusions regarding the racial gerrymandering claim that is all but ignored by the Supreme Court’s order.

“You would never guess it from the majority’s order, but under this Court’s precedents, a district court’s factfinding about electoral districting—’most notably, as to whether racial considerations predominated in drawing district lines’—is reversible ‘only for clear error,’” Kagan wrote. 

Sorry, but Kagan's dissent is far to mealy-mouthed.

The Supreme Court has become a threat to the Republic. 

It has been such since well before Bush v. Gore.

It is imperative for the citizens of the United States to use all constitutional levers of power to address this.
