I'm assured that if he had, the third president might rethink his comfort level with unelected, black-robed lawyers, being able to operate as an oligarchy, legislating, vetoing, and dictating from the bench.
As dangerous as unaccountable judicial tyranny is in any era, there has at least always persisted the reassuring belief that those seated on the "highest court in the land" were intellectual, informed, and sensible. Obviously there have been questionable characters in the history of Supreme Court justices, but even those maintained a semblance of sagacity.
One can't identify a woman. The other believes treating children like a Mr. or Mrs. Potato Head is good practice. I can't say this any other way. These are not competent minds. These are not serious people.
For her part, Justice Elena Kagan will likely vote along with Brown-Jackson and Sotomayor, having sworn allegiance to the progressive faith and all the macabre child mutilating fruit it produces. But credit Kagan for at least having the wherewithal to keep her mouth largely shut during oral arguments. She, unlike her liberal cohorts, knows how out of the mainstream her position is. She has likely read enough of the research literature to know that the whole transgender agenda is a self-conflicting, self-contradictory morass of gimmicky pseudoscience. It's one thing to vote for it. It's another to open your mouth and put yourself on the record saying incredibly ignorant things.
But that's where we are now thanks to Presidents Obama and Biden.
Just imagine if either had been presented with opportunities to fill additional vacancies on the Supreme Court.
Thomas Jefferson, the same guy who penned a fairly scorching list of grievances against unaccountable, tyrannical government, entitled the Declaration of Independence, called the federal judiciary the “least dangerous” branch.”
Ouch. This is a zinger. Author should have taken the two minutes to google.
That quote is from Federalist 78. Written by Hamilton.
With regards to Hamilton’s authorship of the Federalist and his relationship with Jefferson, I’d encourage the author to watch the musical....
They’re both despicable and shockingly ugly!
How many USSC vacancies will Presdent Trump fill this term? 2? Could it even be 3?
Again, I say,there should be no more than 2 women on the Supreme Court.
Actually, the “Wise Latina” was appointed by BJ Clinton.
Obama, Obama and Biden. What can you expect? Birds of a feather of course. All fools. All women. Never mind the EEO candidate status. DEI post turtles, at least two out of three.
What a woman “is” is now debated at the highest level of our judiciary!
Those two compete for stupidest jurist ever. But I think Jackson still wins. It is close though.
I can only imagine what Justice Thomas and Alito think about their colleagues.
Most of the court is an embarrassment. Thomas and Alito are pretty solid.
For democRATS and DemoKKKrats, there is no such thing as embarrassment, disgrace, hypocrisy, etc.
Without a conscience or a soul, anything is possible.
“Las Stupidas”!
They’re a group of politically appointed clowns - a serious thinker or two, yes, but in the end, just a sideshow
Which one of these wrote opinions that rose to the judicial stature of Justices Rehnquist, Scalia, or Thomas?
They have done that from day one.
