Don’t always take the supreme court for granted. we know the libs will all vote against him. The BS about Alito was to get at least one conservative out of the picture since Roberts has been compromised since his decision on Obamacare. So far it’s failed.
Re Supreme Court, in 1979 Bob Woodward wrote The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court. He discussed the Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali case where he filed as a conscious objector for the draft. The USA sought to prosecute him as a draft dodger. The court ultimately ruled in his favor as he had converted to Islam through Elijah Muhammad’s Nation of Islam. However, Woodward reported that ye Court had initially voted to uphold the conviction. I forget what changed their minds (if Bob knew or said) and of course he may have not really known.
But the high court is squirrelly. They have been threatened with imperachment, having their budget cut, and packing more members on there to get more favorable results. Meanwhile, Roberts is weak and not real consistent or trustworthy. They all have feet of clay (except Thomas - who is steady and elite as they come).
