This is the sweatiest, most panicky thing Ilya Somin has ever written, and he's writing it because he can't distinguish between preserving the privileges of the elite lawyer clique he's a part of and preserving the rule of law in the US.
SCOTUS has turned itself into an overt enemy of rule of law.
I don't think Somin's actually lying here--he's genuinely in a state of existential fear and uncertainty as the norms he took for granted his entire life are burned to cinders by the very people he most trusted to uphold them (SCOTUS justices, and in particular the right-wing ones).
This article reflects his desperate denial of a situation in which he and the institutions he's loyal to lose no matter what happens.
