A growing portion of the population couldn't care less about what's "appropriate" at SCOTUS anymore.

When you basically let your institution be co-opted as a part of a man's effort to run the federal government as a private company intended exclusively for the benefit of himself and his associates, you can expect jokes.

The US Supreme Court currently is a joke itself with their Kavanaugh stops laws and other agenda driven politics and mostly in the way the cowardly justices aren’t even providing reasoning or guidance on any of their brain dead rulings to lower courts.

The current Supreme Court has no regard for law and justice for the people of the USA. What a joke.

The Supreme Court is the joke… it has lost all credibility with partisan inconsistency and overt bribery.

And you have only one party to blame for this, it also predates all the Trump unhinged cases/decisons and even his first mandate.

Republicans simply suceeded in their plan to take over the federal judiciary branch from the top, in great part with the help of the Federalist Society.

The only answer if Democrats ever take power back is to pack the court now, no amount of unwritten rules following and norms respecting can work against people who abuse the system and packed the court themselves (by unjustifiably blocking candidates nominations which would have balanced the court, for years)
