      That’s the Thomas two-step. He uses these concurrences to issue marching orders to the judges below him, so that it can be challenged up to the Supreme Court and then his concurrence becomes precedent.

        Thomas is not the supreme court. And he’s starting to alienate himself from even the other conservative justices. He’s on an island and I doubt the others would follow his lead if this reaches SCOTUS on appeal.

          They’ll rule it’s Constitutional to hunt Democrats for their pelts and you’ll still be pretending the Court is legitimate. 🙄
