Its a great article and he really understands what his father, a truly great man, was about
I disagree with one thing though. The confirmation process will always be contentious from now on. the libs want judges who put their own policy preferences before the constitution, They will never approve of anything else.
the left always cheats, always.
Very true.
I’m from Chicago and went to many Cubs games with my sister and father. My mom wasn’t really into sports. I’m just sad that my dad passed away a couple of months before the Cubs won the World Series. He would have been very very happy. :-)

Yes. If the court stays conservative for the next 20 years, and the left takes over all three branches at any point, we will be back to the court packing scandal of the New Deal and the capitulation of the Court, in response, to the living constitution theory.
Large portions of the new deal were held constitutional ONLY after Roosevelt threatened to expand the size of the Court and appoint a bunch of leftist judges.
A conservative court will be a dire threat to the progressive agenda today because most of it is unconstitutional. So the vicious battles will continue.
Ironically, Hamilton brought this on himself when his Federalist judges arrogated power to themselves that was not in the Constitution in McCullough v Maryland and Marbury v. Madison.
