Some of SCOTUS was appointed because of their pre-existing views on GOP hot topics. What the GOP is slowly discovering is that this doesn’t always translate to favoring the GOP on everything. Most of SCOTUS still tries to operate within the legal framework, barring the creative interpretations they hold on the topics that got them appointed in the first place.

I wish I believed in SCOTUS as much as you. IMHO many of their recent decisions, from roe to the dismantling of the clean water act, etc have shown just how little they care. Not just about precedent, but about the country, it's people, it's land, and resources. Except as they can be exploited for profit.
