You've mentioned in a lot of responses how things justices care about- history, text, originalism, etc-means there's a mountain of evidence that ISLT is wrong. But do you have any evidence that the Supreme Court actually cares about any of those things and instead uses those as a cover to be partisan hacks? And that they wouldn't hesitate to throw those things out the window to continue to be partisan hacks?

> That puts any of the justices interested in the ISLT in a tough spot
Does it though? They have lifetime appointments and impeachment is a political tool, not a legal/ethical one. What's stopping five of the six conservative justices from embracing ISLT and saying "lol, because we feel like it?"
