The Supreme Court as we once knew itas a national institution that could at least sometimes stand apart from partisanshipdied last year. The ongoing fight over its corpse spilled into public view last week.
On Thursday, 53 United States senatorsevery member of the Republican caucuswrote a letter to the clerk of the Supreme Court assuring the justices that the Republican Party has their back. The Democrats, the senators told the Court, pose a direct, immediate threat to the independence of the judiciary.
The spat is about guns. The Court has granted review in a Second Amendment case entitled New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v.

The Supreme Court became reliably Progressive in 1939. It has been Progressive ever since.

Amen, Salman.
Garrett needs to go easy on RBG, or whats left of her.

I decided to look up the Wikipedia entry for the movie My Cousin Vinnie after watching it again the other night, when I came across this line:
Chief Judge Merrick Garland of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2019 decision stated, "In 1992, Vincent Gambini taught a master class in cross-examination.", and further extensively quoted from a cross-examination scene in the film.[16]Apparently, liberal hero Merrick Garland cited the movie in his legal opinion (see the footnote in the above quote), and the warriors at Wikipedia inserted it into the movie entry as subliminal messaging on the merits of Obama nominees.
Bottom line: This is the Supreme Court that liberals want, the kind that cites movies in their rulings.
