That leaves Amy Coney Barrett or Roberts, and that assumes Kennedy stays in the sane column.

What is your opinion about the justices? I know Thomas is as corrupt as the day is long. He openly takes bribes, and doesn't even try to hide them (e.g. by reporting them as gifts...he just doesn't report them). I've read numerous articles, and John Oliver thought it important enough to dedicate an entire show to discussing his graft.**

But what about the others? Are they likely to respect precedent and rule of law? I've been surprised by some rulings in recent years (both positively and negatively).



**He even offered Thomas a tricked-out RV, plus a stipend every year for the remainder of his life, if he resigned during Biden's term. And, shockingly, it was legal for him to make that offer...the HBO lawyers cleared it.
