I am a human. I see overlap in thought on a fresh post.
That's exactly what a bot would say!
I actually like to call out AI shortcomings

Also, hope I’m not succumbing to AI psychosis, and starting to talk more like a bot. Autism be like that sometimes.
The Supreme Court is the joke… it has lost all credibility with partisan inconsistency and overt bribery.
What bribery?

I'm unfamiliar with this, can you elaborate?
Judicial reform bills have tried to address the issue, but these bills have very little chance of success in the current political environment.

It is about respect for the institution, regardless of the man. It is why judges are addressed as "your honor" or "judge" as it is to their integrity and their office we plead not to them as individuals.

The court would not be able to carry out that procedure if, for example, anyone could just constantly talk over the judges and not let them get a word in. So there is a pecking order in the courtroom, but mostly because you couldn't have courts without it.

Democrats, while better than republicans in this regard, are also to blame. It is not one or the other.
I'd prefer SCOTUS to blog about when it is appropriate for a justice to fly treason flags supporting insurrectionists or decline to recuse themselves from cases involving their insurrectionist family members.
