Thank you for that very informative comment. One of the things I have been informed of is that since this is a state suit against other states, the SCOTUS must hear the case, being that this was their orignal purpose. Personally havent had time to dig on this.  In the light of recent political events I can see the court being divisive giving these conditions and the arm twisting in DC at this time, they are not immune. Justices while they may be thoughtful and professional, to some greater or lesser degree, they are human and they have their views and pressures. As pertaining to the liberal leaning justices, they have shown, (along with the chief justice) to be willing to play loose with the law, the constitution.  I truly do desire to see our justices BEING professional and thoughtful being also faithful to the constitution. I think we can all say and be correct in saying, that this circumstance is the defining moment for that high and lofty body. SCOTUS in the past, not just the Roberts court but also other SCOTUS courts has not always been faithful.  Our history is replete with evidences of that fact.  And as for justices Thomas and Barret, there is no reason for them to recuse, that is the lefts desire and that is to remove 2 conservative votes. If that were to happen, justice could and would not ever be served and this would be a normal occurrance any time the deep state has an issue. In other words set a precedence. Indeed, The world is watching.
