But what if they pack the court and then do other things that guarantee their presidential victory in the future? Not good

If they pack it right we would not be able to pack it again. All future packs would be declared unconstitutional. Insane verdicts from the supreme court are not only possible they are probable.

The fact that lawyers act like they are part of some kind of unbiased profession is simply a lie they tell themselves to feel better. There might be some objective truth in legal documents but lawyers will ignore that as they see fit.

Reminds me of China - supposedly the law is actually pretty clear and somewhat reasonable. But in practice the Chinese can just ignore it and have total power.

Then shooting starts. Either way it's the end of the country when they start packing the courts.
