ReplyDeletePoliticizing the Court? That's a no no as OUR beloved founders believed:
ReplyDelete"As evidenced in the health care cases, politicians across the ideological spectrum have played into some of the Framers’ fears for the Constitution by politicizing the decision and erasing the distinction between the Court’s holding and the policy merits of the heath care law. Paradoxically, many of the elected officials who proudly campaign under the battle cry of “saving our Constitution” endanger the Court and the Constitution with their bombast. Politicization of the Supreme Court causes the American public to lose faith in the Court, and when public confidence in the Court is low, the political branches are well positioned to disrupt the constitutional balance of power between the judiciary and the political branches."

No politicizing of the court is going on.
ReplyDeleteWhee?
ReplyDeleteAnd Trump makes it all about him, of course. He's very honored that Kennedy decided to retire on his watch.
ReplyDeleteTrump's ego is just something that's going to be a given until 2025
ReplyDeleteSo you say.
ReplyDelete"No politicizing of the court is going on."
ReplyDeleteYou are too smart to believe something so boneheaded...which only leaves dishonesty. Makes me sad.
:-(
You thinking about voting for Trump if he doesn't quit, bloggie?
ReplyDeleteDepends on whether there's a vote that, while I know it will be merely symbolic, is one I can live with. Otherwise, not sure.
ReplyDeleteGawd!
ReplyDeleteGiven the drift and much worse of the Dems I'd probably vote for Pence, but never ever Trump and proud of it.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you drank a big gulp of the AS elixir and are collapsing as a Never Trumper. Sounds like you think the Court is on its way to becoming your kind of Court, Supremies are, your kind of Court, your kind of raz ma rulings, ain't no jazz..." So a justice retires and that's a victory for Trump? He sure sees it that way. And apparently so do you. Give you more, right?
Delete"With the installation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, and a yet-to-be-named reliable replacement for the unreliable Anthony Kennedy, Donald Trump will have confirmed himself as the most consequential conservative president of the modern era (or a close second to Reagan if you’re nostalgic). This will be complete vindication for Trump supporters, which means it’s really the end for the so-called Never Trump conservatives. Of course, there have been so many humiliating defeats for that crowd that we are spoiled for choice. What was your favorite blunder, or blown prediction, which marked their ignominious end?"
