Hahaha what, they literally overrode 2 past court’s rulings after saying they wouldn’t. The judicial branch overrode a decision ruled on TWICE, decisively, bipartisanly, with no new legislature involved. That’s only consistent with interpreting them as partisan hacks who don’t respect their institution.

Meaning this wasn’t unique or rare or an outlier. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31962613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31962613 the rationale presented in the case was a reversion to the mean, where the court doesn't function as a surrogate for the legislature. grasping at the procedural aspects of appointment because the judicial review was sound but disruptive suggests that these aren't strong arguments about the judges.
