And it is all due to the absolute folly of SCOTUS making a blatantly political decision in 1973 that was not grounded in the Constitution. That has poisoned SCOTUS and turned it into a political body, not a judicial one. After all of these years it has turned these confirmation hearings into lynchings, because the 'Rats know that legally the decision is indefensible. Therefore they have to defend it politically.
Now that hits the nail on the head, hadn't looked at it that way.
