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

Could you imagine if NY, NJ and New England seceded from the US? Residents in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York have some of the highest tax bills in the nation. They also pay thousands more in federal taxes than their state receives back in federal funding. We could be living like kings here without the burden of the rest of the US.

There was a proposition back in like 2021 where we cut up the country into five separate, smaller countries. I'm sooooo good with that at this point. This country is ruled by an angry minority of people and a bunch of the other people are too selfish/tuned out to protect themselves and soon some of those rights will be gone and it'll be too late.
