The justices who sit on the US Supreme Court really want Americans to think they comprise a non-partisan, apolitical, institution – despite this obviously not being the case.
To that end, it came as little shock when the court this week overturned the Colorado state Supreme Court’s decision to disqualify Donald Trump from appearing on Colorado’s election ballot due to his role in the 6 January insurrection – as set out in the Fourteenth Amendment of the US constitution.
This move serves as the latest illustration of how ideologically extreme and partisan the court has become.
