Swing Vote is not a constitutional legal concept.
And I am certain Kegel is 100% aware of this fact.
If the whole court were originalist, we wouldn’t have all this drama about swing votes and majorities.
Great idea!
Note to court jester: That’s why we elected Trump!
Smart, she ain’t
Womp Womp sad trombone
Wait till she meets Amy Barrett
Hope not....that’s why I voted for Trump!!!
I don’t fear that, I welcome it.
What I will welcome even more though is the Donald getting to appoint the replacements for Ruth Buzzard, Breyer and the Wide Latina.
So why can’t Kagan be the swing vote? hmm...
Because she votes lockstep against the US and with the democrat party.
Hey Elena;
Just wait until Trump picks a replacement for Ginsberg. Then see how you feel to out of tune with the others.
Kagan warns that the Supreme Court may not be able to legislate from the bench anymore.
Exactly what I was going to say.
Oh but I thought you Justices were supposed to be unbiased, nonpolitical, and even tempered?
Exactly - she complains that SCOTUS will be down to only 4 partisan liberals versus 5 who believe the law counts for something.
It’s obvious that anyone who’s observant the left has used the courts to push their agenda, because they can’t win legislatively
Look at the decisions that have destroyed our society.. they aren’t from legislatures but court rulings
The idea that religion in the public square is unconstitutional... the inane theory that no state sponsored religion, means all religion must be banned from the public square.. no prayer in schools etc that isn’t a legislative thing it was a court ruling... etc etc.
The return to a constitutional court ends their ability to force leftward via edict and must advance their agenda through the legislative process which takes a long time, especially when your desires are far outside th current main stream.
The left will attack the court, even though they relied on it for decades
It isn’t supposed to have swing votes, it is supposed to be a fact based determinative body not a political one.
Kagan and the other leftist will actually have to make legal arguments now rather than just figure out how they are expected to vote and justifying with a political statement. Being in a permanent minority is going to suck for them.
Hmmm... "swing vote": Is that a reference to the need to have a "Roy Bean" on the SCOTUS?
I see. You tried to rope me in but just left me hangin’...
