Theyβre doing this because they are worried that Democrats are going to take back the House in the 2026 midterms, presumably due to polling on the unpopularity of Trumpβs mass deportation agenda, Medicaid cuts and constitutional norm shattering, among other things.

I'd come at this question a bit differently. But the gist is right on target. The Court has created an originalism which cherry picks & ignores most of the country's history. And pretty bright letter facts, not even things that are interpretative. That makes this reaction from historians inevitable.

Trump is threatening to bring in the National Guard to the nation's Capitol. He's already done it in LA. He is a fascist testing how to unleash his own Gestappo against Americans once people turn on him during the midterms and 2028 election. It's all right there in front of your eyes, folks.
