I agree, but failing to recuse is not as serious as failing to make an effort to objectively apply federal statutes and the Constitution. Supreme Court decisions have always, in varying degrees, been influenced by justices' personal and political views, but the justices never ruled on the basis of such views so blatantly before. The six Republican politicians on the Court have effectively announced that they can do whatever they want, and they know that they will get away with it. "Activists" does not begin to describe them. They've gone rogue.
I'll give examples so that I don't come off as just ranting. They invented the "major question doctrine" to allow themselves to strike down federal agency actions that they dislike because the agencies, acting pursuant to federal statutes, protect us from pollution and other harms. They allowed Texas to ban abortion while Roe v. Wade was still in effect. They have, so far only temporarily, allowed Idaho's abortion ban to override a federal statute that requires hospitals to provide emergency medical care. Finally, they effectively repealed section 3 of the 14th Amendment so that no state may keep an insurrectionist off its presidential ballot.
Not literally an insurrection, but, yes, a dereliction of duty to uphold the Constitution. And that makes it a violation of their oath of office and therefore an impeachable offense.
I hope the armed forces are loyal if the militias come out in November. Do I sound too gloomy? Is it not one of the possibilities? Some states won't ratify a Biden win? It's after midnight, I should get some winks.

Dereliction of Duty - they'd be court martialed if they were in the military...though I doubt any of them have served.
Insurrection

Ah yes,
"Language in thought and Action"
I hope the armed forces are loyal if the militias come out in November. Do I sound too gloomy? Is it not one of the possibilities? Some states won't ratify a Biden win? It's after midnight, I should get some winks.
Its midnight in the Americas.
Will we wake-up?
"Goodnight and Goodluck."
BTW do you recommend the film by that name?
Film?
