I have been on steroids and they DO alter your mental state.
You become hyper, very emotional, panicky, suffer insomnia, and think you are invincible. Then when you curtail the medication which must be done slowly if you have been on them over a certain length of time, you begin to feel lousy, depressed, no motivation, and still not thinking clearly.
Personally, I would WANT to have Article / 25th Amendment applied until I was back to normal. He has demonstrated to all the world that he is in even worse mental shape than before COVID when he was being a tyrannical prick.
I would hope that we could even consider SOMEHOW calling the SCOTUS nomination into question due to his capacity.
You know how lawyers can object or make note of things they dont like in the court case, and then use those things on appeal.
I think we would have justifiable cause to later rethink Barretts confirmation.
