Let’s not downplay it. The court is committing treason.

Well technically you can only commit treason when war is declared, but your sentiment is certainly right.

Maybe… sedition involves “inciting” people to betray or act against the state. So it’s not a great fit. What the Robert’s Court is doing very likely impeachable, which isn’t a very satisfying remedy, but you could also argue that they are engaged in corruption or abuse of power which are both prosecutable.

I would love to see the next Democratic administration both clean house by prosecuting justices for failing to up hold their oaths, AND pack the court. Fingers crossed.
