Sorry, I could relate to your comments until you got to the SCOTUS appointments, which is something I know more than a little about and represents a continuing triumph of the Trump administration (unless you think the executive branch should control everything, I don’t see how the basic thrust of the current Court could be objectionable to somebody who ascribes to your stated beliefs - meaning telling Congress to do it’s job and backing away from the courts and executive branch usurping powers that were expressly reserved to Congress and state legislatures) - and, BTW, I will not vote for Trump or Lake, as I believe both have disqualified themselves, personally - but the least of my fears, if Trump is reelected (which I am beginning to think is possible, given the apparent unwillingness of Democrats to acknowledge the glaring weaknesses of Biden and economic and foreign policy failings of his administration) is what would happen to SCOTUS.
My primary concern with some recent decisions of the Court arises from comsciously ignoring some laws in order to allow a desired result to take place. Alito subscribed to that notion for decades. Unfortunately a majority joined him by pretending the 9th Amendment didn't exist in concurring on Dobbs. Roe v. Wade was a stretch. Dobbs v. jackson was a farce.
