They do not go by the Law any longer. They go by what makes them feel good.

If you give people a right...

I think I see the problem.

F@#$ common ground. Try having common ground rules, such as not leaking draft opinions, not doxing justices or attempting to kill them, and not inviting nut cases into the Senate gallery to disrupt confirmation hearings, or inventing 11th hour fake allegations during confirmation hearings, and finding and prosecuting the draft opinion leaker(s). There are nine justices on the Supreme Court to have honest, enlightened discussions of their respective differences of opinion, NOT to “find common ground”!

There was no common ground in any of the really vile decisions of SCOTUS, not Dred Scott, nor Roe v. Wade, nor Plessy vs. Ferguson. Thank G-d for fearless dissent.

The SCOTUS has been legislating from the bench for so long At least half of them believe that’s their job.

“If you give people a right, and then you take the right away,” it’s not a real right, which should be inalienable and self-evident.

Fixed it.

Typical leftist B.S. They don’t want “common ground”. They want conservatives to cave in to them. And they want to destroy the constitution.

Exactly.

No more.
No less.

…But even in a more typical term, approximately 80 percent of votes are in support of the majority opinion, and only about 20 percent of cases are determined narrowly. The 5–4 cases that get national attention are in fact somewhat anomalous…

Quite true. The media pretend otherwise, but if you look at all cases heard over a term, it's obvious that they agree on expanding the police state more than not.

Nothing in the Constitution gave Scotus the power to declare rights.

If kagan can’t rule by what the law actually says, maybe she should resign?

In fact, We the People per the Ninth Amendment put government on notice. We the People and not courts declare our rights.

“saying it risked looking political by continuing to overturn legal precedents.”

The left spent 50 years overturning legal precedents. And now whines that one of it’s most precious jewels, baby killing, just got re-reversed.
