The current majority of the Supreme Court clearly established even before the 2024 election that it has a special affection for Donald Trump, whether because of the ideological convictions of the judges or because he nominated some of them, or because of the support of the Federalist Society and its lobbyists, and the gifts of billionaire donors. It refused timely adjudication of a crucial case, and eventually granted him impunity and immunity from investigation or punishment even for criminal acts as president, and prevented any attribution of motives from obvious and relevant context. But for these judges of the Supreme Court, Donald Trump would never be the only convicted felon to serve as president of the United States and to escape accountability for inciting a violent insurrection against the democratic structure of the country to stay on illegally in office after losing an election.
In short, and not to mince words, this Supreme Court is as illegitimate as the Supreme Court of the United States which was responsible for the infamous Dred Scott decision, helping to plunge the country into Civil War. The remedy in this case for tyranny through the Supreme Court, the Republican dominated Congress, and a rogue presidency can only come from the people, mobilized and rising up against the increasing and obvious undisguised criminality shielded and perpetrated by biased judges, corrupt senators, Congressional Representatives, and the rogue president and his complicit officials. Whether or not that can or will happen we cannot tell. But if it does not, we are at a historic moment - the end of the United States as a civilized or law-abiding society. It will have proved itself a rogue nation in the type of its criminal president - a nation to be shunned and despised by others.
