Damn. Well in the literal sense I agree. I would sooner visit Mount Rushmore with a pedophile football coach than I would go out of my way to save the life of a traitor. I don't think I would have been this angry at Kennedy. To have HIM write the solid dissent while Roberts went the other way is madness. I'd talk football with coach McFeely and smile at Obama's face and shake his hand and say "pleased to meet you Mr. President" about 100 times before I'd do anything but flip the bird to Roberts. Nothing feels worse than betrayal.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS the conservatives that flip. Never does a Marxist flip
It's true with regular voters as well. Inner city democrats almost never break ranks. GOP suburbanites and rural people vote democrat all time. The left does not tolerate dissent. Look up "three line whip", that's that kind of mindset we need to have, on everything.
I know with judicial appointments there is a lot of beating around the bush cause we like to pretend the courts are supposed to be "above" "politics" (which is a lot of bull if you ask me). But If I was the President making a SCOTUS appointment, I'm strapping the guy to a polygraph (I'm not of fan of their efficacy but you get my point) and flat out asking:
"So Roe V Wade is bull, you'd overturn that right?" "Forcing people to buy health insurance, that's fascism right? Not legally permitted, correct?" "Do you swear on your children's life to uphold these principles we've been discussing?" and unless I got the answers I wanted and was sure he was being honest with me his resume would go in a circular file.
And if that gets you some half-retarded sycophant who wants nothing more than that the prestige that comes with the position then so be as it long as he votes the right way.
Roberts’ silly decision was one of the most disappointing, shocking, disgusting actions that I’ve ever seen.
