        Justices are not scientists. They’re politicians.

        A scientist will change their mind when presented with contradictory evidence to their theory. A politician will laugh in your face.

          They’re not politicians, because they don’t have to run for election. They are probably political, though.

            They indirectly get elected by the Federalist Society. At least the conservatives are.

    The justices will wrestle with whether a provision of the 14th Amendment aimed at keeping former officeholders who “engaged in insurrection” can be applied to Trump

    No problem for the originalists cuz there was no Twitter when 14 was written. /s
