Not sure why Biden should respect the 'precedent' of a nine justice Court if those same nine justices won't respect their own precedents.

Stare decisis for thee but not for me won't cut it.

Especially given the complete disregard for ethics by Thomas and Alito with their billionaire paid vacations. And Justice “I Like Beer” having his gambling debts mysteriously paid off by somebody while also having a shame investigation into credible sexual assault complaints. They should not be appointed for life and completely unaccountable to anybody. It’s just crazy how much our founders expected shit to just happen in good faith by all political actors.
