Extrajudicial Considerations

 The justices, by a 7-2 vote, left the entire Affordable Care Act intact in ruling that Texas, other GOP-led states and two individuals had no right to bring their lawsuit in federal court. The Biden administration says 31 million people have health insurance because of the law, which also survived two earlier challenges in the Supreme Court. [More]

Between this, punting on the election challenge, showing deliberate indifference to 2A, and other stuff, I'm starting to think the prime consideration here is to assess what would happen if they took the cases and the left lost, that is, to keep the cities from burning. 

Because they know disappointed "conservatives" have thus far not done that, as much as the Capitol set up is propped up as the benchmark for violent insurrection.

If we have learned anything from the Marxists and jihadists, it's that we will get no respect from our own government until they fear us as much as they fear those other groups. Every time I say that, I am met with reproofs of "how dare you suggest force; our side is better than that." Fine, live your life like a suicide pact; I will not.
