No one will think Hegseth and Trump are tougher for doing this, or that they are better at running the country. They will think both Hegseth and Trump are depraved people with no morals and no interest in justice as they put on a show. To show an execution so kids can see it is deplorable.

4 Critics aligned with Luttig's perspective argue that selective pushback from the leadership of the Supreme Court damages the judiciary's institutional standing and fails to meet the moment of a mounting constitutional crisis.

Alito took this same path in deciding whites were marginalized by black voting districts because it diluted white power. Alito, Trump seems to hate minorities and will not allow them any power. They make out the whites are victims.
