Thing is, there is so much pressure to pack the court, on top of decades of some factions complaining about “unelected judges legislating from the bench”, that I am not sure how real this is, or is it an effort to discredit the court? Why does this hit the fan now, after it has been going on for nearly 50 years?

The article cites some cases that may be established fact. A House Committee started looking into this a few weeks ago, but the investigation will probably be ended with the change of control in the House.

This country is so Shiny, I just can’t tell.
