The division of Supreme Court justices into rigid blocs is unfortunate, because it makes the court seem more like a political body than a legal one.

[reaganaut1]

They have some nerve!

[jrd]

seems to me the Times would much rather it be 4-5 instead of 5-4 split

[Uncle Hal]

The NY Times is the official newspaper of the Democratic Party.

[expatpat]

But,..but,..they loved it when their bloc was the biggest!

[Mike10542]

The New York Times editors are truly, truly, absolutely nuts.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Is it appropriate to call ‘one’ persons a ‘bloc’?

Thank God for Bush and his two conservative justices.

Thank God for stupid liberals shooting down the Presidents lady nominee to the Supreme Court. {There ought to be a law against nominating committees nominating the head of their committee to the position being sought}

[goodnesswins]

WHO divides the court into “rigid political blocks?” THE NEW YOUR TIMES and their ilk.....the legal court follows the CONSTITUTION you idiots......although I realize the NY TIMES thinks the CONSTITUTION is a POLITICAL document, NOT a legal one....sheesh.

[tdewey10]

NY Times are a bunch of idiots. The USSC is a political body.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They are a poltiical body when they choose to be legislators.

[jack_napier]

The most telling thing is the utter lack of mention of the DC gun ban.

[ThanhPhero]

The Court is very much a Political body and always has been.

I agree. If the four liberal judges would just start following the Constitution, this wouldn't happen.

LOL. They stopped being judges in the 60's, at the urging of the NYT.

[Brilliant]

It is a political body.... Which is why you can’t trust the courts.

[Elsiejay]

And one hopes the justices will adhere to the political view that the Constitution is to be strictly applied and not arbitrarily rewritten to accord with the spirit of the times.

[SampleMan]

because it makes the court seem more like a political body than a legal one.

And the NYT hates that, because when it was majority liberal on everything, they could ignore the dissent and give it the appearance of a judicial body.
