30. I think this sort of rumor gives Roberts Court cons too much credit.

It sort of implies they did bad things and are covering up their own misdeeds... That is a very strong personal motivation.

The reality is that the entire con/Repug/MAGA movement are morally bankrupt, and cynically so, and cover up the misdeeds of each other -- no matter how monstrous -- because they care more about their side having power than anything else, and will hurt anyone and put up with anyone being hurt to make it so and keep it so.
