So is Kavanaugh. These are great jurists. People seem to think that once appointed to the bench, Justices should become advocates of a particular side. That’s not how it works, and part of being a conservative Justice, and believing that the judicial branch is should be “ the least dangerous branch” as Hamilton envisioned, is that judges/justices do not get involved in political issues.

And yes, I know what I’m talking about here.


Absolutely. We must have partisan defenders of our American Heritage or this nation will perish from the earth. There is door number 3 here in this historic battle against rampaging American marxists.

You advocate selling rope to the communists that they will use to hang us all. The libs are not trying hard at all to pack the court. They have the power to do it now. Are they? Nope. They don’t need to do that when they can buy all the rope they need from delusional Republicans.

We must recognize that Trump is responsible for nominating these judges.

As a two-time voter for Trump, I would like to see our side hold him accountable for his hires / nominations; they have been terrible, on balance.

Judges must never be the partisan defenders of conservatism. In a democracy, we elect representatives to enact laws. Those on the bench must resist the temptation to do so. Then the unelected bench becomes the most dangerous branch when judges impose their political/social values on others.

By the way, this is what separates liberals from conservatives when it comes to the role of judges in society.

Again, I know what I’m talking about here. If you look to the judicial branch to solve your problems, you are looking in the wrong place. Elect conservative representatives to do that job.
