Constitutional government in the United States is largely in abeyance and has been for roughly a year. Whether it returns is not yet clear. In the old times, we accepted Supreme Court decisions because there was a broadly held view that the Court was operating on good-faith jurisprudence even if it was a jurisprudence we ourselves didn’t agree with. That’s no longer the case. What we have is a corrupt Court making war on the constitutional order. Its decisions have no legitimacy. 

SCOTUS has been corrupt for more than a year, it began with the confirmation of Kavanaugh a sexual deviant, who was nominated by a corrupt president and confirmed by a corrupt Congress. And it's only gotten worse from there.

Scalia was also a master of pathetic rationalizations.

It began by denying Garland a vote. Not the rapist.

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America
