(46,797 posts)political reality), tenured-for-life SCOTUS is, with more than a remote chance, likely to be the match that lights the powder keg of the destruction of the rule of law, which may well lead to the dissolution of the Union of the States.
A declaration of universal foetal personhood (and thus the nationalised outlawing of almost all abortions) by the corrupted SCOTUS, to give but one example, would quite possibly do the trick. Multiple Blue States will very likely refuse to submit, and thus go into a posture of open defiance of the SCOTUS.
If the POTUS (far more likely if it is a Republican, but also it could be a Democratic one as well) decides to use the full force (up to and possibly including kinetic force) at their disposal to bring the defiant States to heel, their may well be kinetic violence and also open secessionist movements springing to life within those Blue States.
If the POTUS does nothing, or very little, and the Blue State defiance continues unabated, then some or many of the Red States may well start to ignore and defy previous rulings that THEY detest. The same options and their resultant outcomes may well likely occur, with similar chaos, violence, and secessionist movements entering into the broad theatre of possibilities.
We are entering into the most dangerous of waters, and the supply of national life preservers is becoming more and more depleted as the years flow by. In fact, the Republican Party is actively and wilfully destroying that supply with all deliberate speed.
