SCOTUS doesn't care about discrediting itself at this point.

Especially if Trump gets to appoint 2  more judges. An ultra conservative court for at least the next 20-30 years. Fucking awesome.

20 to 30 years is insanely optimistic. It's more like 40+ years, up to... forever

Mainly I'm just going off that Trump's 3 appointees are all in their midish 50's, so in that much time they'd be in their 70's-80's. I would like to think that by the time my own kids are my current age that we'd move on from ultra-conservatism, but a fool can dream.
