Completely wrong. There's a massive difference between being stupid and doing something stupid. George W. Bush is stupid. The framers made a stupid decision among many brilliant decisions.

2/3 of a republican congress and a republican president. It's not "collusion", it's simple partisan politics which manifests in a partisan SCOTUS.
