I think you have to seperate the ideology from from the justice aspect.
Republicans dream of ruining the lives of millions of gays and women.
They believe in always being against blacks and other racial minorities.
The conservative court sees corporations as "people". And they should have all the rights of other people.
Understanding the ideology gives us insight as to their rulings on issues not matters of crime.
But they see their own awful behavior as separate from the law.
The same people are sticklers for the law.
And Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, just like Justice Roberts, have a legacy to protect. The legacy of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh is young. It's only just begun. They will be Supreme Court Justices probably decades after Trump is gone. They won't want to be seen as Trump's stooges.
NY attorney: 'Very weird and peculiar' that Trump called me 3 times before I was fired
Remember, Trump called the Prosecutor of the Southern District of New York three times trying to develop a relationship. This is the office that overseas the parts of Manhattan where Trump Tower sits. When the guy refused to return his inappropriate call, for the first time in history, a sitting president interviewed the new guy who replaced him, Geoffrey Berman, who pissed off Trump when he recused himself from any investigation involving Trump. See? We are finding a pattern here.
Trump is finding out how hard it is to "stack the deck" when it comes to the US Judiciary.
So while Kavanaugh and Gorsuch may or may not hate gays and women's rights, I suspect they will want to follow the law. They are untouchable by Trump. They owe him nothing because they are sworn to the US Constitution.
I'm sure Trump expects these guys to protect him.
I'm also sure it will never happen.
If Trump broke the law, I suspect only Thomas will protect him. Which would be ironic considering Trump is a racist and Thomas is black. I suspect that's all the support Trump will be able to count on if investigations prove Trump is a felonious lawbreaker.
