Vought will certainly cause problems in his administrative role, but he's no leader, just an unhappy Tory and Trump fanboy. I don't see legions of disgruntled Christians with spears and shields following Vought into war against his personal demons. Thanks for providing the backstory on him, Tom.

And while the current SC justices are willing enablers of the destruction of the current order, the Catholic majority amongst them may not yet be at the fever pitch Vought is, except for Alito, of course. The others seem more contrarians than dispassionate intellectuals. It might be time to flood the SC zone with letters reminding them of their duties and legacies as interpreters of the law. We always urged to contact our reps and senators, but rarely do we let the justices know we're watching them, history's watching them, and, gee whiz, God is watching them.

I don't think they care about us at all. They have a cushy job for life. Totally insulated from the world.

That they don't care about us at all is the tell that their starchy catholicism is just an empty uniform they wear so they can recognize one another.
