Let me know when Roberts begs the others to stop taking massive gifts that look like bribes.

Tsk, they only look like bribes if you’re looking. You should stop doing that as well.

“Why won’t they just let us make wildly unpopular decisions that jeopardize the livelihoods of Americans without having to make us feel bad about it?!”

Well if the court didn’t engage in clearly partisan politics, maybe the liberal justices wouldn’t have anything to criticize.

Does he realize how bad it looks when he voices that his problem is criticism and not like, I don’t know, taking money from political interests? Or refusing to recuse in cases where there’s a relative directly involved?

It is really incredible how far down the drain the SCOTUS has gone in such a short period of time. Not saying it was great before Justice Kennedy retired either, but at least back then it was generally respected.

I hope RoyGBiv is rolling in her grave at refusing to step down and let Obama select a replacement when she knew the power of her position.

Unfortunately, she’s dead which means she will never even have the capacity to understand what her decision meant.

Why do you think they would’ve filled her spot when they didn’t fill the other one with Merrick Garland? She protected her spot or they would’ve held it up until Trump.

On the other hand, it’s our job to pick the best president and we majorly blew it. I can easily imagine RBG thinking “if they are dumb enough to elect this chode, they deserve what they get”.

I don’t know, I like Sotomayor. And Brown-Jackson seems alright. And I really don’t have much opinion on Kagan aside from the fact that I usually agree with her rulings. As for Conservatives, I disagree with all of them almost always, but Gorsuch at least seems to care about consistency, and I think his views on Native affairs is admirable.

If it’s not clear, I mean all the conservatives that clearly were put there for nefarious reasons. And none of them deserves a life time position on the supreme court regardless, and by them here I mean everyone, not just conservatives.
