A Supreme Court Justice saying/believing something this fundamentally incorrect about the expectations of their job should be disqualifying.
Alas…
It's been personal opinions for a while...
They're also not supposed to make laws either, but the whole "qualified immunity" thing where cops are allowed to do anything and not be held accountable was a court decision.
They only care about the rules when it agrees with what they want.
It's weird seeing the SC destroyed by SC judges in my lifetime. When I was a kid everyone had such a high opinion of them
That depends on when you grew up. It seems from this data that the golden age of being a SCOTUS judge just was the late 80s, but any other time in recent history (prior or subsequently) the SCOTUS struggled to get even half the country to approve of them.
It's definitely way worse, now, though.
Edit: Bleh, typos.
