Going to start collecting these links for lemmings that think the Court is MAGA and will always rule in the evilest way possible.

Oh look! Just today, Supreme Court refuses to hear trans bathroom bill:

In the case the court rejected without comment, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom.

I'm no fan of this Court. If I had my druthers, Thomas would be impeached, just for starters. But this idea that these judges are partisan is childish. They're conservative, not partisan. And apparently they don't default to hearing cases and judging conservatively.
