i feel comfortable saying that at least four members of the court probably outright believe that donald trump is the legitimate president of the united states

So does essentially 90% of governors in red states! It's scary stuff.

Those four members are crooks who do what their masters tell them to do.

I’d say no more than one or two. The other two know he lost but would happily vote to install him because it advances the cause of theocracy.

Not good that I don’t even know which 4 you’re counting!

Pretty much guaranteed that the FedSoc KKKlergy will issue another SCOTUS fatwa declaring Mango Messiah immune from worldly laws, but at least Smith did everything he could to produce a document that leaves their corrupt kkkristofascist perfidy no plausible deniability. None.

Believe being the key word there, as it's a very fact free belief.

I'd go so far as to say they believe he's the reincarnation of Jesus. At least a Jesus that mirrors our sick, deranged world.

Or just want him to be and don’t care

Yep. Given Trump v. U.S. I kind of think it's five, possibly six

I think what those corrupt judges want to be true is that judges dictate the law themselves, rather than the law as it exists being faithfully executed by judges. They want to be kings, and the president their puppet.
