SCOTUS does

Actually SCOTUS speaks for Trump since he was the POS that installed them.

The people are responsible for who they elect and the actions they take. So millions of people in the US are to blame for this even if they aren't a majority thanks to how elections work in the US since Clinton won the popular vote.

Clinton was well over 30 years ago. Please join us in the present.

SCOTUS appointments are for life. The 70 million or so who voted for him will be responsible even after their death of many of them.

you're getting gish galloped i think. this other person is just gonna keep pulling you further and further from the actual problem, which is that this problem is not unique to just one state and requires systemic change throughout the nation to fix

How does 70 million translate into one state speaking for the entire country of 330 million?
