If justices followed the Constitution there would be no swing votes.

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.

Which of The Federalist Papers discusses the swing vote on the Supreme Court? Anyone know? It must be in there somewhere since it is such an important concept.

The justices take an oath to obey the Constitution,don’t they? Not following it should be cause for immediate dismissal or at least a recusal under certain circumstances for certain cases. In a capital punishment situation,I can understand a person’s beliefs not aligning with what the law calls for & a recusal might be the answer to such a situation. Any justice not going along with the idea of following the Constitution after taking the oath of office should be dismissed.
