10. I'm sure the three liberal justices are fed up with the blatant abuse of power by the Roberts cabal.

They gutted the Voting Rights Act even though it was Constitutional law passed by Congress. They gave special protections to evangelical Christians allowing them to violate anti-discrimination laws based on gender. They gave extraordinary power to wealthy people and corporations to buy elections. A d now they've basically said that the US has no asylum laws because their president can deny asylum based on his personal racism toward black and brown people.

I will no longer be surprised if this group of Republicans who have appointed themselves as the makers of law, not the interpreters of law, by negating Congress's role in passing the laws that don't support their personal religious and racist biases.
