“The chief justice has it exactly backwards,” he said. “The confirmation process doesn’t make the justices appear political. The confirmation process has gotten political precisely because the court has drifted from the constitutional text and rendered decisions based instead on policy preferences.”

So why the hell do jerks like GrASSly keep nominating people like Roberts, Soto-Mayor and Kagan?????????

I think you mean “confirming”. The President nominates the candidate. Grassley voted for Roberts but against the other two. It was other Republican scum that voted for these two that need to be culled.

Senators don’t nominate people for SCOTUS. The President does.

Get a handle on it.
