Of course and at the end of the day none of this is about high lofty judicial principles rather it’s about money and pushing political agendas.

There is also the issue of the Justice Kennedy’s sudden retirement. Oh, so you're saying they're chosen because they're biased, fascinating. What evidence do you have that suggests thats even remotely true? Trump wanted an originalist, hardly a radical concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it’s all very plausible.

I think the Judicial branch is our last bastion of intellectual honesty and morality. There are some outliers on the left and right but for the vast majority I think its the last branch of government where we get quality people. From the Federal level to the State Supreme courts they just seem better. Conversely, the legislative and executive branches have the least and people with ethics, honesty, and morality are the outliers. These two branches feel like they've become used car salesmen and that is an insult to car salesmen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFD. What do you think it means? Conservative, originalist. Thats what Trump wanted, and what he got. How she got there, is on merit. Interpret the law as it is written, not to fit an idealogical agenda. If Democrats start winning arguments on the merits, maybe some day they'll get to appoint their own SC justices. Given how they've behaved the past 4 years, I don't see that happening for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Biden and the democrats in the senate and house are bought and paid for. Not sure how anybody can dispute that. Trump (although some argue he's less bought than others) and the republicans in the senate and house are bought and paid. Cant dispute that either. Been like this for so many years, decades. How can anyone reasonably expect the SC not to be bought and paid for. I dont have any fuckin links, don care. Just my opinion. They are all bought, every fucking one of them. If they weren't they'd be dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
