Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the Supreme Court?

'member when nothing else mattered, as long as they got their Justices? You would think they'd be playing that card daily now, right? Nope.

Is it because their impeached, one-term demagogue considers the Justices he himself championed, "totally incompetent and weak" (Twitter, 12/26)?

They're not bragging about the Supreme Court because Trump's three appointees aren't doing his bidding.

They have the court stacked just the way they want it now, and they don't want to advertise the fact that it is nothing but a partisan corporate rubber stamp at this point.

Republicans don't want to talk about the Supreme Court because they don't want to draw attention to it.

Maybe Biden should take advantage of the Trump base's anger at the new justices and instead of expanding the Court, reduce the number of justices to seven.

Getting rid of the sexual predator frat boy and the handmaid would be a good first step towards a more balanced and non-partisan court.

I don't see the "fix" in that. Isn't the only way to reduce the court to do so by attrition, based on the natural departure of justices from the court?

Thankfully, though, there has been a demonstrated difference between what the Republicans expect SC justices to do and what Donald Trump expected them to do for him.

Pretty sure you can't remove Justices by reducing the number of positions.

I've seen grounds for at least two to be Impeached and Removed though. Chances of that happening are less than Nil however.
