There are Purity tests on Free Republic.
If any judge has an opinion which certain Freepers disagree with, that judge is condemned as worthless.
It doesn’t matter what other opinions such a judge has issued. There is no sense of balance or proportion. A single deviation from any Freepers judgement, is enough to condemn such a judge as having been a wasted Supreme Court nomination.
We have a lot of Freepers here who don't give their comments much thought..
The point is that the condemnation of some fatass who has probably never run for office, held an office, or managed a campaign means exactly diddly squat.
People who haven’t been actually involved in elections and politicking are like sports fans screaming about blown calls or bad coaches- good for a laugh.
I have more respect for someone who gets off their ass, runs a campaign, and wins election to an office -be it dogcatcher or congress person - than any idiot who thinks they’ve done their duty by merely voting.
Even if I utterly disagree with the former and completely agree with the latter.
For every person bitching about AOC, for example, how many have done phone banking, walked precincts, organized vanpools to take people to the polls? Those are the only people who deserve respect, no matter how ‘impure’ some of their views.
Not just judges.
When it comes to judges, though, you’re never going to get somebody who agrees with you 100% of the time.
If they do, they aren’t really judges, since the law won’t always coincide with what one wants.
