Undermining faith in a branch of government for doing its job is a far more egregious attack on our democratic system than the January 6th riot. And honestly anyone perpetuating it is just as bad as the people who participated in January 6th, from the point of degrading our Constitutional system.
The justices are undermining faith in their branch, themselves. The intention of checks and balances and separation of powers is that there is oversight between the branches of each other. If there are red flags with regards to ethics and impartiality in the judiciary that is 100% the purview of Congress and it is their responsibility to look into that. Far from being an attack on our system it is upholding their constitutional responsibility. As the power of impeachment lies with Congress, it is their responsibility to enact this oversight.
