    I went to a talk with Justice Sotomayor and she spoke VERY highly of Justice Thomas. Its not impossible to disagree with someone and still respect each other.

      True. Ruth Bader Ginsberg was a true friend with Antonio Scalia. In fact, the reality of the SCOTUS is that the justices tend to agree on much more than they disagree. By one count, Justice Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsberg voted the same on 87% of cases. It's just a handful of the most divisive issues/cases in which justices tend to have any real disagreements and in which the media focuses upon.

      But you do realize that if you attack good ideas or defend bad ones, you may well end up hurting people. And, of course, Scalia cannot have been stupid enough to believe that he was operating in the realm of ideas. A law is not the same kind of text a novel is. Scalia's statement sounds philosophical, but it really isn't.

      They do follow the constitution, but where a private contract is in place with the feds, a judge cannot interfere.
      That`s the difference between "The United States," and "The United States of America," only one of them has a constitution, and the other is a private corporation.
      Try reading the constitution, it tells you, The United States Constitution.
      Antonin Gregory Scalia, former associate justice of the supreme court of the United States (1986 - 2016), told a Senate hearing, "The constitution simple doesn`t apply in their courts," and no one asked a follow-up question and asked him why?
      It doesn`t apply where there's a private contract in place, so, the real question is who owns the corporation "The United States of America"?
      It`s registered on the stock exchange, it has a D-U-N-S number, go see it for yourself, in every library, there are copies of D&B (Dun and Bradstreet) who issue them D-U-N-S number.

      The way the question was asked, and in the setting it was asked, and the context under which it was asked, made giving an answer impossible. Which is why it was asked in the first place. Blackburn (although I'm sure she was dictated to by Cruz) wanted to catch her in an answer that could be used against her in any cases with a transgendered person. (Which is why I don't think one of the senators has answered it when asked.)

    When you watch videos of how the Supreme Court Justices interact with each other they are almost always positive in nature. Based on what I've seen and read I believe that (on average) Justices work in a fair and impartial manner while still retaining their personal bias's. This is what makes the recent leaks so egregious. While civility is being upheld, non-politicization is not. It's okay to have personal views which can be supported by law but "leaking" is subverting the process.

      The “experience” thing is so laughable. Both sides use that as an excuse way too much. She was on the circuit courts for a few years as a judge. That’s pretty good. But it really doesn’t matter. The Supreme Court is an important job, but it’s not a “hard” job. If you are a good lawyer, you can easily do that job. Elena Kagan, for example, was never a judge. But she’s probably the best of all the liberal justices in recent memory.

      It's blatantly obvious that the current Roberts Court is deeply corrupted and has lost all legitimacy - not only because of its decision to steamroll our constitution and throw out every precedent it comes across - but because of how the bench has been stacked by the extremist wing of the Republican Party.
      McConnell and the GOP Senate's refusal to take action on President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016 wasn't unprecedented - but we haven't seen an action like that since the decades immediately preceding the Civil War. The vacancy created by Scalia's death lasted more than a year, resulting in four 4-4 decisions, two of which were in major cases.
      McConnell and the GOP Senate then abolished the filibuster for Supreme Court confirmations, allowing the nominations of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett to advance to the Senate floor for a final vote without having to first clear the long-standing 60-vote procedural hurdle.
      All three were confirmed with fewer than 60 votes. In fact, so were Thomas and Alito. The five far-right justices who now hold the majority are the only justices confirmed since the 1950s with fewer than 60 votes. Not only were G, K, B confirmed by the skin of their teeth, they were nominated by a president who lost the popular vote (twice) and were confirmed by senators who represent 40 million fewer people than the justices who opposed their confirmation.
      Now remember that Gorsuch is occupying a seat stolen from Obama and Barrett is occupying a seat stolen from Biden. Even before they've rendered a single decision, how could anyone possibly expect the public to view this Court as legitimate?
      But the Court doesn't care. The only thing those partisan hacks understand is power - just like the politicians who put them on the bench. The Court receives over 7,000 case petitions each term and only reviews about 70 - the cases concerning abortion, religion in schools, gun control, EPA regulations, affirmative action, LGBT rights - these cases didn't just happen to land in the Court's lap - the Court chose them. Alito & Co. are drunk with power and they're using it to overturn as many of the precedents they don't like as possible - precedents set by their predecessors who, unlike them, were nominated by more than three Republican presidents and confirmed with bipartisan votes in the Senate and very little opposition.
      Take Dobbs for example. The Court has rendered SIXTEEN affirmative abortion decisions between 1973 and 2020 - FIFTEEN justices, mostly GOP nominees btw, stand behind those decisions - and these five partisan puppets, two of which have almost no prior judicial experience (T:
