I am hoping this experience makes them rethink their positions on efforts MAGA GOP and tRump bring before their court. If they truly believe they were ‘tricked’ and ‘used’ perhaps they need to reevaluate their positions because so many people do not trust them any longer. I know they’ve lost credibility in my eyes and from research alone, some of them are not necessarily sitting with clean backgrounds.

Sitting justices of the US supreme court felt “tricked” and used by Donald Trump when the then president assured them a White House celebration of the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh would not be overtly political, then used the event to harangue those who questioned Kavanaugh’s fitness to sit on the court.

“Most of the justices sat stone faced” as Trump spoke at the ceremonial swearing-in, the CNN correspondent Joan Biskupic writes in a new book, Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court’s Drive to the Right and Its Historic Consequences.

“Some justices told me later that they were sorry they had gone.”
