I enjoy farming, running, music making, baking, yoga, sitting by the water, looking at the stars, caring for Earth and for people.

The so-called conservative justices - more accurately radical right - have a whole bag of bogus principles, firm originalism to textualism. that they use as needed to justify the outcome they want. Their actual legal philosophy is whateveriwantism. The rest is just gaslighting.
