Fascist leaders must kill all of their opponents.
Putin doesn't even hide the fact he does this all the time.

They will kill as many Americans as it takes to get what they want.

Even the Dred Scott court was at least somewhere near the Constitution in their ruling, because the Constitution outright said that slaves weren't full citizens. It was an awful take on the issue from a human rights position, but it was at least based in what the law said, thus not a technically corrupt decision.

This is the most corrupt USSC, bar none. Seriously, when the Dred Scott decision looks like better (technical) jurisprudence than what the Seditious Six are up to, your court is in serious trouble.
