No it won’t. They’ll just make every case the worse possible way and wipe their hands clean of it.
They won’t regret one moment of it. Maybe a small migraine but all 9 of the members agreed to have no oversight, no party can get enough to impeach any member of it, and they remain on it until they retire (why give up the ability to construct the entire government of 314 million?) or die in the seat.
Every single one of them just wants power, this gives them that. Welcome to fascism. We can’t elect any of them, we can’t remove any of them, and they get to state if someone is not bound by law or protected by it. And we’re not even trying to pack the courts anymore.
I mean, anyone could exercise it. These justices are appointed for life after all. The problem seems to be that the far-right has a monopoly on violent lunatics.
It’s hard when living in a panopticon. Even the smallest PDs have thermal drones, night vision, fully automatic weapons, ALPRs, facial recognition, security cameras tracking you from the nextdoor neighbor’s Ring to the network of cameras at every turn in a population center. Anyone that tries to make the world a better place in that way also throws away their own life. And that’s if you never use a computer.
Right now, the best use of the second amendment is keeping some weapon in a safe until the purges begin. Trans people will be probably be their first target. Then the LGBs, then anyone whose medical record reflects an abortion or adjacent procedure…
Things Christian Nationalists have already put into the record:
Day 1 Trump becomes a dictator;
Day 1 insurrection act martial law;
Replace the DOJ and FBI with loyalists to go weaponize them against the presidents “enemies;”
His non-followers are vermin instead of Americans;
“We are domestic terrorists” banner at CPAC;
Every authoritarian I can think of has tried to purge a population. It’s a way more common occurrence in human history than democracy. It’s just this time the recently unmasked fascists in Silicon Valley already know what every American’s political beliefs are and where they are at any given time.

Looks like the right to bear arms doesn’t prevent tyranny after all. Huh, who’da thunk it?

Having all 9 of them dead would honestly be a band aid in having them just rip off the entire ground the Capitol is built on.
“The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammo box. Use them in that order.”
For legal reasons, I don’t have the ability to do it, nor advocating someone to do it. It’s as much as a wish as wanting Putin or Xi dead.
As an Australian, the idea of clinging to the right to own weapons it’s illegal to even suggest using is fucking hiliarious…
