You act like the liberals on the court were playing politics like the righties are now. Not even close.
The conservative transformation of America’s highest court has led the right-wing drive to erase voting rights protections and remedies for racial injustices, to forbid federal judges from reviewing extreme gerrymanders, and to lift campaign finance regulations.
The Court was already split along political and ideological lines before Trump. And its makeup already had been heavily influenced by the conservative agenda led by the Federalist Society, founded in the early 1980s. But the Trump presidency and the forceful influence of his three Supreme Court appointees propelled the judiciary into a new period of polarization. It is worth noting, for comparison, that Trump appointed three justices in four years, while the three prior Democratic presidents (Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama) appointed only a combined total of four justices in their total twenty years in office.18
Side note. I truly believe Trump thought the Supreme Court was going to help him steal the election. And I believe they will just like they did 2000 but it has to be closer than Trump lost. If they would have helped him it would have been obvious.
The Trump effect, especially in terms of the individuals chosen and the resulting shift in the balance of power, has been incomparable.
A 6-3 conservative super majority court has struck down a number of longtime precedents.

Not to mention Citizens United.
If you aren't on my side on this, I give up on you.
