The issue has ALWAYS been the Republican Presidents who nominate people like Justice Roberts, and the Republican Senators who vote for people like Justice Roberts.
The day the ObamaCare decision came down, I spent an hour on Wikipedia studying all the Supreme Court nominations dating back to Dwight Eisenhower.
I count six nominations by Republican presidents who consistently or frequently voted with the Left Wing on the Supreme Court.
I count just one nomination by a Democrat president - Byron White by John F. Kennedy - who often voted with the Right Wing of the Supreme Court.
Also, our Republican Senators are guilty of putting up zero opposition to hard line Leftist nominations by Democrat Presidents. Time and again, we see the Republican Senate leadership standing in front of microphones explaining how Democrat presidents are entitled to have their Court nominations confirmed.
Democrat Senators have no such political passivity. Time and again, in direct alliance with the MSM, they have torn our Conservative nominations to shreds.
Today's Supreme Court is a perfect reflection of the GOP making almost no attempt to protect the Constitution and the rule of law.
Roberts, always a centrist judge, nominated by Bush Two.
Anthony Kennedy, nominated by Reagan, votes frequently with the Left.
And, the now retired David Souter, nominated by Bush One.
Souter consistently voted with the Left while still on the Court.
Then, breaking with precedent, Souter resigned just two months after a Republican President left office and allowed Obama to nominate the Leftist, Sonia Sotomayor.
I blame ALL of these recent catastrophic Supreme Court decisions on the feeble Leftist sympathizers who have led the Republican Party for decades.
Well said! Thomas Sowell confirmed it in an earlier thread today.
