There are 5 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges that were publicly shamed, threatened and verbally attacked by Democrats, specifically Joe Biden. 3 accused of Rape/sexual deviency, 2 accused of fraud.

I think this may be their last chance for revenge and there is no way they will ever allow Biden and the Dems to take over.

Maybe they "cleared their plate " waiting for the BIG DECISION that they will have to make shortly after Jan 6th.
