I think they have Roberts by the short hairs.

The justices that the GOP puts on the bench are there primarily to enshrine corporate power. Their actual committment to social conservatism is a distant second. The GOP long ago surrendered the fight on gay rights, and they’re slowly pushing anyone who disagrees off the platform.

Democrats stay in power though special interest-favoring judicial tyranny imo.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

Because it is like Trump says with Congressmen, they get in there, then they see the marble columns and statues and say wow I really made it and then to appease the uniparty and the press they stop being conservative.

They all come from the same swamp of liberal elite academia and judicial system. They are all compromised and there are people in this world willing to use that leverage.

The swamp is deep and wide my friends....

Because Republicans keep electing moderate (RINO) senators. In an evenly divided senate, moderates rule. Scalia and Thomas would have a hard time getting approved in today’s Republican senate.

Because everyone has something in their past they are not PROUD of and thanks to Obama, there are FBI files on all of them. And they can and will use them.

Easy...
Because unlike the GOP-e, the Democrats know exactly what is going on at the Supreme Court.

Liberals have litmus tests and make sure their nominees are ideologically pure. Conservatives seeks judges who will “uphold the Constitution” and “rule on law.” That leaves a wide latitude when actual cases come before the Court.

That’s a bingo. Corporations want socialissues such as gay rights and employee healthcare “settled” in favor of the progressive agenda. They pay the GOP to do that and they are delivering. Note Mitch “We’re going to repeal Obamacare root and branch” McConnell is no longer running on that issue despite having a GOP POTUS. This fix is in.

In SCOTUS justices ideology predicts tendencies, not specific outcomes.

The primary issue with most “Conservatives” is, they are easily intimidated. They do not have the fight in them the Leftists have.
Rush talked about this on Monday. He spoke of all the emails he’s gotten through the years from “Conservatives” who say in emails we have all the guns.
The LEFTISTS don’t dare do this, that or, the other. But, when Leftists rise up and riot, kill, burn, destroy, where are all the “Conservatives” who claimed “they don’t dare”.
Nowhere to be found.
Rush was not advocating for violence, he was merely pointing out the hypocrisy and the weakness of all those keyboard warriors. Asking, where are they now?
The Leftist are out in force. They are getting the attention and the Leftist Change they are demanding. Where are the Conservatives pushing back in force? Nowhere. Which is why the Leftists are winning.
I remeber when the Tea Party came out in the many tens of thousands. What happened to all those patriots. Where are they?

I think that Roberts is just being who he is. There is no mysterious "they". Democrats nominate committed left-wing ideologues who never deviate from the party line, regardless of a case's merits. Republicans nominate someone who they think might be the fabled 'strict constructionist', and this is a mistake. Nominate a committed right-wing ideologue who will never deviate from the party line, or continue to be betrayed.

I wonder if there was anything in Gorsuch’s opinions that could have predicted this.

I am not sure what the problem is, I may have ruled the same way. if you hire someone who is lgbtqaxyz and they do the job properly you should not be able to fire them only because they are lgbtqaxyz.

do due diligence before you hire someone, or is that illegal too ?

RINO uniparty senators

Same problem with lower Federal judges... there’s no negative for not filling a seat

This is not a supreme court with a conservative majority... but expect the corrupt media to falsely push it as one , that narrative hopefully has changed
