Oh they certainly are aware. They once again have a chance to surprise us all (now that we are sufficiently suspicious of their integrity), by yielding to popular demand and acting quickly on this absolute immunity debacle. If I were a betting man, I would bet against it heavily. Which is why this situation is so dangerous. If I am right (my track record of predictions on Trump and his legal issues is stellar so far), and SCOTUS continues delaying a "lay-up" legal decision deep into the election season, that means the SCOTUS is a major player in the hostile takeover of our government by anti-democratic authoritarian forces. An outcome nobody could have anticipated I think.

The coup has already taken place. The court was McConnell's gift to his backers. The US Oligarchs? The Russians? The Chinese? I'd say all of the above. Why oh why has there not been an exposé. This fact alone threatens my resolve.
