Kennedy Replacement DDF Shortlist

ha good line!
but in truth the supreme court is the only body of government that hasnt (yet!) started acting political. If you say their decisions are clear thats one thing , but take a look at how congress and the administration throws barbs at each other all day acting clearly political. that hasnt happened (yet!) on the courts. allowing a trumpian personality on the courts will invite ocasio cortezian personalities as well.
lets not.

Absolutely! Although I don't like - and I've said it here before - that Chief Justice Roberts tries to be a political pleaser. I respect justices who stick to their convictions, and keep the integrity of the court beyond reproach. Be it on either side of the aisle.

As Ben Shapiro often says, "when you see Trump standing over a corpse, realize he is not the murderer, he's just the coroner"
