Scalia overruled for the last time

[Brian37]

That sums it up. The GOP isn't interested in protecting the constitution, they are interested in being the only power.

I think they've fully realized quite some time ago that they only way they stay in power at a national level is to either change their platform to be more inclusive, or pull every dirty trick to subvert democracy and keep winning elections they can't actually win by a fair majority.

It's pretty obvious which of these two paths they've chosen. If they get to stack the Supreme Court, they can ensure another 20 or so years of doing so with relative impunity.

Well to be fair, unfortunately this seems to be a tactic used in our species history as part of our evolution. In COSMOS Neil spent a little time in each episode explaining, worldwide in our species history, the gatekeepers, the powers that be don't like having their power challenged. The good side to our species however, is that their are those willing to challenge social norms.
