Unethical does not necessarily = illegal. Same with underhanded and sneaky. As you say, actual laws have to be broken. And even when a law is broken, it's not always as easy to prove as people tend to assume.
Nobody understands this better than those who are trained in the law. TFG's 3 handpicked injustices all knew exactly what to say to get people to think they would uphold Roe without actually saying they would uphold Wade. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some coaching as well.
It sucks, big time, to pull the wool over the nation's eyes like that, but there's no law that can be invoked to punish them for it. We were all duped by people who knew exactly how to do it without breaking the law.
