Graham and McConnell are hoping for a dignified process over the SC nomination and that the Senate will not embarras itself by engaging in a food fight. Feinstein wants a justice who speaks for the bulk of the American people. Why are we getting so far away from the actual purpose of the SC, which is not supposed to be political. We just need intelligent people who can read and who believe in the Constitution of the United States and that is is the supreme law of the land and not what a few in black robes think it should be.

What confuses me is how do people know whether your judges are Dem or Republicans do they have to declare that? Surely their political affiliation is not important but can they rule correctly on difficult decision and not let what is flavour of the day sway that decision.

Or am I living in cloud cuckoo land.?

Excellent post, get back to basics.

Supreme Court justices aren't supposed to speak for the people, they're supposed to speak for the Constitution. That's the reason they're appointed, for life, rather than elected.
