I mean Trump and CT have been known to hang out before he was even president. They went to a NASCAR race back in the late 90s... Apparently they have dinner together often also. CT's wife is a big Trump fan also.

I mean your choice is Trump, or someone who has said he is going to make all their jobs meaningless.....

Neutral? Did you see Justice Thomas' confirmation? Now you tell me any of that bullshit was objective questioning regarding the qualification of a judge to sit on SCOTUS.

She's right, though. We don't want politicized courts, that's how we ended up with half this shit in the first place.

We should have fair, constitutionally-minded courts. It just so happens that a fair, constitutionally-minded ruling will fuck Joe Biden's presidency harder than Kamala has ever been.

The best thing about this is he’ll get his revenge, simply by upholding the law, without any politics.

True, we don't want politicized courts. But that's part of the problem. We have a thoroughly compromised Chief Justice. Just getting a case before the court as we know is something of a political circus. All we demand is the right to be heard and the Constitution applied, that is true for any case that infringes on or abridges our rights. I absolutely agree with you. My argument is against the disgusting political charade carried out against thoroughly qualified judges and attempts to besmirch their character while those with no business sitting on the bench (Kagan) are whisked right in.

Who doesn't agree that Supreme court justices should be neutral.... go tell that to the democrats and leftists on the bench. You can't expect our side of the bench to not take personal biases into judgements when the left obviously does.

I mean I get what you are saying, I wish it wasn't like this and the people on the court could just look at the constitution and start there, but they don't.

And that is part of the problem, republicans try to take the high road and work with democrats... democrats NEVER do that, that is why this country moves so far left over time.

Surely, you've read our chief justice's opinions? 🤣🤣🤣 Or maybe our esteemed recently departed justice's dissents ... surely?

The fact that you think that they'll be neutral when they've been harrassed, drug through the mud and 2 of them were in bullshit hearings that wanted to tear them apart for a life-long appointment? Seriously? CT swore in ACB with a bigger smile on his face than you realize. This is a vendetta, a righteous one.

The point is that they can have those feelings, but they have to set them aside and say what the law and the Constitution say.

Now, there's nothing that says a judge or a justice can't be sarcastic or kindly in the way they write their opinions, or that they can't smack around attorneys in their oral questioning. But they have to have good legal reasons.

Usually liberals provide lots of good legal reasons, especially if you can dig into one of their heaps of BS and disintegrate it.

I don't see how the mountain of evidence, and the steady flowing in evidence can make someone who has actual law-sense to pass it up. These aren't lower court judges.
