Judge Lamberth is a Reagan appointee and "Mr. Little" is one of the defendants from the J6 insurrection.

This is what the present day GOP has brought the nation to. All in their quest for absolute power and they haven't given up the quest yet.

That is not all, Repugnants now say the SCOTUS rulings can be ignored.

Republicans now say it might be okay to ignore the Supreme Court

The party that once prided itself as the law-and-order side has leaped headlong into highly speculative theories about the “weaponization” of the justice system, spurred by former president Donald Trump. Both Trump and his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani recently flouted civil defamation verdicts against them by continuing to defame their victims — cheered on by many on the right. Republican voters increasingly want a president who is willing to break both rules and laws to get things done.

And the party is setting up this up to ignore the results off the next elections regardless of how the SCOTUS rules. Reade the bolded text above.

“It’s like, if someone’s breaking into your house, and the court says, ‘Oh, sorry. You can’t defend yourself.’ What do you tell the court?” Roy separately told Fox News. “You tell the court to go to hell, you defend yourself and then figure it out later.”

“We all agree that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land,” Stitt said. “And if the Supreme Court gets something wrong — for example, if they tried to ban and say that we didn’t have a Second Amendment right to bear arms — I think the Constitution supersedes somebody in Washington, D.C., telling us, you know.”

So the role of the SCOTUS which is to interpret the constitution is now taken over by the Repugnant Party.

As I said after Jan 6, 2021. By hook or by crook.

"WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter who "blind-side tackled" a U.S. Capitol Police officer from behind on Jan. 6 and flipped him over a ledge was sentenced to more than six years in prison Tuesday.

Ralph Celentano, a New York man who thought Trump was the greatest president in American history, was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison."

Every day that I see one of these scumbag traitors getting prison time is a good fecking day.

[RickeyM]

Slap on the wrist. Not nearly enough time but yeah, a good fecking day.

The more people get convicted and put away, the better. I very much doubt that Trump will be able to get MAGAts mobilized after the J6 felony convictions and incarceration. Even that MAGAts are not that dumb. Nearly impossible for felons to obtain gainful employment.

WASHINGTON — A New Jersey man who wore a throwback Philadelphia Eagles beanie to the Jan. 6 riot was arrested by the FBI this week after online "sedition hunters" identified him with the help of facial recognition and Facebook photos from a 2020 family trip to the pumpkin patch.

Lee Giobbie, a 40-year-old financial adviser from Eastampton, New Jersey, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with several federal crimes, including felony charges of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding. Giobbie, federal authorities alleged, yelled "move the gates!" over a bullhorn before the barricades on the east side of the Capitol were breached. He was later recorded at the front of the mob yelling "push, push, push, push!” as they broke through another police line and then helped breach the Capitol building, pushing through the east doors leading into the rotunda, authorities said.
"We need something to break the door down!" Giobbie said, according to the FBI, which said that open-source video also shows Giobbie pushing against a police shield during the chaos."

Agreed. Attempted murder of a police officer should get that pos 20 to life, minimum.
