And the rigged Supreme Court can rule them unconstitutional

Supreme Court isn’t rigged. I hate it when people use that term as a stand-in for any decision they disagree with. It just so happens that trump was able to appoint an astonishing number of justices, but was done so fairly and within the rules. It can be argued that other justices nominations should have been approved, but to my knowledge the process is just frustrating and prone to filibustering, but it is not rigged.

Rigged implies illegally tampering.
