Have any?
33 states have laws requiring electors to vote for their pledged candidate. Only 14 of these states have mechanics in place to void and replace faithless electors - five states (two belonging to the aforementioned 14) have fines or jail time as penalties, though three of those don't have a mechanic to void the vote, it gets counted
So essentially faithless electors are banned in 14 states.

Putting a conservative on the court isn’t going to stop either of those. Actually it’s probably more likely to cause people to turn towards violence and revolution

I like the implicit authoritarianism of Kexholm and Karelia's thinking there. He seems to think SCOTUS' job is repressing entire political movements.

It is an un-elected body composed of people that serve for life with a mandate that effectively allows them to overturn the will of the people on the grounds that it interferes with their own personal interpretation of the constitution. It is the pinnacle of unjustified authority.
Or if you'd prefer there is the angle that they can't actually enforce any of their mandates meaning that they are toothless body that cannot justify its existence.

I’m not in the business of looking good to your political wing, so you’re preaching to the void. I’m also not the topic of this thread.

You mean the Roman Catholic Church? Anyway, hardly anyone in the real world believes anything close to the dystopia described in The Handmaid's Tale. It looks pretty much like an outrageous straw man to me.

Where is it documented?
Honestly, I don't know what the heck you guys are discussing, arguing about and disagreeing about, as you guys should since you both have different, opinions, economic, political and social views, as Democrat supporters and Republican supporters. I have only seen and read this post, because these threads move so fast. I don't know about documented hypocrisy or not.
I am on record as saying both Republican and Democrat Politicians are hypocrites too, neither are political saints.
But I think, Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and many other Democrats are hypocrites too.
The way they tried to destroy Judge Kavanaugh's reputation and career as highly qualified US Supreme Court Justice. The way they tried to destroy President Trump Politically with the impeachment scam, hoax, the way they blame President Trump for the violence in Democrat run cities by Democrat mayors, who have refused help from President Trump because Trump is a Republican President. S L said a certain Republican Politician should resign for his hypocrisy, by that standard I think all these biased Democrats should resign for their political hypocrisies, and not just for these political hypocrisies but for many other political hypocrisies as well.
