So why do all judges below SCOTUS level have no problem abiding by enforceable standards and Scotus itself has no problem with such divergence?
Who is SCOTUS accountable to if they have life terms that are realpolitik impassible to challlenge in the event of bad behavior whether its isolated or collective?
I hate to tell you, but they are pretty corrupt all the way down to traffic court.
Can they be impeached?

But it was the judicial system that did that, and the people didn’t get a vote or say in it. I’m not anerican, but that was clearly the judges paving the way for their boss to get more power.
Taking bribes from people with cases in front of the court does indeed.
Have you tried not being corrupt? No?! You get what you deserve.
Fuck John Roberts
Oh, I know this one! The problem with people’s faith in the court is the corruption.
The primary problem is there’s effectively no check or balance on the Supreme Court.
The House can pass a bill that gets blocked by the Senate.
The House and Senate can pass a bill that gets vetoed by the President.
The House and Senate can over-ride a veto.
The House and Senate can impeach and remove the President.
But if the Supreme Court does something incredibly immoral or otherwise illegal, there really is zero accountability.
Yes, technically the House and Senate could impeach and remove, but that would really only apply to high crimes and misdemeanors (cough, Thomas, cough).
The only way around a bad ruling is to pass a new Constitutional Amendment over-riding it, and the bar for that is far, far higher than a simple veto.

Yes, it’s always been a corrupt and evil system invented by literal slavemasters to violently preserve their disgusting privilege.
Well I mean, you made the guy at the root of the problem immune from prosecution, so maybe the best advice is to wear your vest and be prepared to reap what you sow
You know he’s really talking about Democrats. He rails against open disregard for court rulings, disagreement with the Supreme Court, threats and intimidation of judges - he’s not saying that the MAGA think they’re above the law, he’s claiming that he is the law and the ones being dangerous and threatening are the Democrats who disagree with him. And probably those who want to investigate the ethics of the Supreme Court too obviously, that’s the real threat and intimidation. People like him are shameless like that.
These people don’t rise to top clown position by being smart.
Have they thought of not being corrupt pieces of shit? That usually helps people view you as legitimate institutions, instead of crooked partisan hacks who take bribes and rule based on favor and who’s who in the club.
Judicial independence = we can do whatever our owners want us to do without recourse from the peons, fuck laws and morality
Oh hey it’s the thing conservatives love to do almost as much as shoveling money at rich people: beat us over the head and then cry about being a victim of “the left!”
Do all the things he says not to do.

To be a traitor a person must have stood for something at some point.

SCOTUS derives its power through people’s faith in it. Both the left and right know its “justice” is a farce - the right knows but applauds it while the left knows but is powerless to do anything.
Pretty sure these people derive their power from overwhelming violence.
