Yep. Based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s certainly possible that he’s trying to win their favor. Let’s hope it’s just an unlucky roll of the dice in terms of cases that have come before the Court and his personal views, because otherwise... here we go again.
It’s really sad how many on our side are so weak.
But most cases that appear before most courts tend to be rather technical and apolitical in nature. That's why there's little controversy in most rulings.
The real issue is both political parties continuing to look to SCOTUS to tackle political issues that really should be the purview of Congress. It's Congress' continuing desire to hide behind the Court's skirts and duck "hot potato" political issues that's the root problem.
