@futurebird I don't know that it can be said that we're "shocked" so much as disappointed. Disappointed (but not surprised!) that conservatives continue to be dishonest in their dealings, and disappointed (no longer surprised) that the center-right leadership of the only viable opposition party (hereafter known as "the Democratic Party") continue to assume and follow norms that Republicans violated and abandoned long ago, as if keeping to the moral high ground is all they need to win.
Right now, Democrats need to take the power handed to them by the Supreme Court to do what needs to be done to prevent an Orban-style takeover of our government and its institutions. But Biden is too concerned with political norms to do it, while his successor won't have any such qualms.
