9 people had the power as a group, and they decide how to use it. They all had a say, and after that a decision was made.
Yes 3 were against, but it’s still the decision of the group.
Yes, but the comment didn’t say that the SCOTUS decided, it say 9 people did. Would you say that 53 people played badly? That’s how many are on the team, after all.
The person you’re arguing with made the point that if you hold the ones who voted against the bad thing happening as partly responsible, by the same logic, you should hold people who voted for Clinton in 2016 partly responsible for the election of Trump.
I don’t think you can have it both ways. Either the entire USA including you is responsible for Trump becoming president and the entire SCOTUS is responsible for today’s ruling, or you’re not responsible for Trump winning and the three dissenters are also not responsible for today’s ruling.
I get that you’re angry, and it’s a good day to be angry, the day that they ended democracy, but maybe be more selective about who you’re angry with and sometimes try to check if maybe there are some valid things people can disagree with you about.
at which point 3 people’s views were ignored which is why they dissented to the majority opinion. Joe Biden in 2020 had 51.5% of the vote, under your same logic 155 million people as a group decided to elect Joe Biden. Which, while technically true, you’re pushing semantics at that point that minimizes the differences in views and opinions.

OK I can see your point. I suppose I stand corrected.
I see from your own argument that you were a Trump supporter in 2016. Not someone I’d listen about anything.
I was never and never will be a Trump supporter, so you see wrong.

I’m not American. But yes in a way we have collective responsibility as a people for the politicians we elect, and what we allow in our society.
Do you not understand the words you used or the word dissent.

They were counted, and probably their arguments were heard. But in the end, the majority has the final say.
Right, so six.
