16. "No conservative justice has made any decision in any big case that surprised anyone.." really?

I think the presidential immunity ruling surprised a lot of constitutional scholars and a lot of other fair-minded people.

The Dobbs decision came as a bit of a surprise, considering all 3 of Trump's "picks" said Roe v Wade was established precedent during their confirm hearings.

That's just 2. There are more.

We may have suspicions about the motives of the right-wing shills on the court, but you don't really know how they will rule until they do.

There should have been some guardrails put on the SCOTUS years ago. It's just open season for corruption. How can that be right?
