President Obama has seen 20 unanimous defeats before the Supreme Court during the five and a half years of his presidency, a pace that outstrips former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, according to a review of his record since 2009 by Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas). “President Obama’s unanimous Supreme Court loss rate, for the five and half years of his presidency, is nearly double that of President Bush and is 25 percent greater than President Clinton,” Cruz notes in a survey of how Obama’s lawyers performed before the high court. Bush lost 15 cases unanimously, while Clinton lost 23 — but those defeats came over an eight-year period. When Cruz released his first report on the topic in April of 2013, he pointed out that Obama had lost nine cases unanimously since January of 2012. This latest installment takes account of the four most recent unanimous rulings against Obama, and the seven handed down by the court before 2012.

Your entire rebuttal is one big reverse"tu quoque" argument. Because Obama is defeated in these examples, that makes it okay that Justice is denied in New York.

No, I think I want consistent justice all across the land, not just here and there.

The Judiciary has become a fever swamp of kooky theories and rulings which are unhinged from sanity, and we need to purge the system of the loons which infest it.

Its a gross overgeneralization to say that because a case in New York was wrongly decided, that means that the entire judiciary is corrupt.
It is just plain wrong to be casting illogical aspersions on the hundreds, if not thousands of conservative justices in this country who do their job ethically and correctly every single day.
It is also wrong to lump all members of any profession together as if they all think the same way. That’s just silly. There are good justices, there are bad justices. Whenever anyone goes to court, they should know that they will win sometimes and they will lose sometimes. If they lose when they should have won, appeal to a higher court.
