Think of it this way: The justices on the Warren and Burger Courts who gave us Brown, Roe, and Gideon did not come out of a multibillion dollar pipeline constructed by civil rights activists, feminists, or indigent prisoners.
But the six members of the Roberts majority DO owe their positions to a cabal of 1) plutocrats, who directly benefited from rulings like Citizens United and Loper Bright, and 2) theocrats, who have a fierce ideological commitment to outcomes like Dobbs and Hobby Lobby.
