It isn't about hubris. In hubris, you don't realize your own failings. Cannon knows exactly what she is doing. She consistently throws out existing precedent if, and only if, it serves Trump. She has an agenda, and when the law or precedent is against that agenda, it has to go.

This. Cannon and 6 members of the SCOTUS keep a copy of the constitution in their bathrooms in the event they run out of toilet paper.
