      Thomas, Gorsuch & Alito voted to take the cases.  Amazingly, Kavanaugh and ACB voted to reject the cases.  Hell of a “thank you” from Kavanaugh who was excoriated by Feinstein/democrats and who Trump could have easily abandoned.  Unsurprisingly, Roberts voted to do nothing.

      Could look at it 2 ways.  Trump nominates honorable candidates.  Or backstabbers?

      Trump nominated good people. They’re not backstabbers.   But the Justices are only human and they too now live under mob threats on their families.  We all do.

      More likely the Roberts court is all about finding a way not to rule about anything of substance.  Roberts did rewrite Obamacare rather than reject it.

      Our downward spiral is essentially accelerating with every compromise like this.

      Truer words.  I don’t recognize America any more.  Things are going to get interesting in ways that Progressives don’t understand.

      Very true. America may be the only country where the first wave of revolutionaries where not devoured by the second wave.  Well, no.  It took over 200 years, but it is happening today.

      you can see it happening. You aren’t woke enough, black enough, feminine enough ad infinitum.

      Progressives will find themselves swallowed whole by the wokeism they’ve spawned.

      It’s hard to take this board seriously. Two Trump appointees are criticized for not simply being loyal subjects when their job is to rule on matters of law. And this is somehow evidence that our country is too woke and descending into liberal madness.

      or something like that. It’s hard to follow the logic here, so forgive me if I’m mischaracterizing.

      NO MALARKEY

      You are having a hard time following the logic?

      Read Justice Thomas’s dissent.  He is  being attacked for simply stating that it is in everyone’s interest that the SC rules on what happened in the election so people have confidence going forward.    “One wonders what the court waits for” said Thomas.   I do too.   I thought the court vote would have been unanimous. You may think they simply ruled on the law.  But they punted again and made the situation infinitely worse.

      By the way, “Red Alert:  Democrats take first steps to censor conservative TV channels Fox, OANN, Newsmax.”  Now that’s what I call liberal madness.

      So who do I call?

      Can you dig up the number of the outfit that runs the 1st Amendment shop? The complaint department? It used to be the ACLU but they went into liberal madness too.

      The decisions of ACB & Kavanaugh in the election case and the Trump tax case in NY stand in stark relief to the democratic orthodoxy that has been parroted over the last 3 years.  {For clarity for you BT, this observation is case specific.  I’m in no way suggesting republicans don’t engage in similar speech.}  The suggestion that Trump was rebalancing the “politics” of the court, that the fundamental structure of the court must be altered to undo this perversion, that “conservative” justices must be opposed to protect “progress” is just political deceit.  On the other hand, the thought that Trump would appoint JUDGES who would evaluate the cases individually without fear or favor to either party based on the facts of the case was easily, entirely and inappropriately dismissed.

      So what happened when the rubber hit the road?

      With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, we see that too many citizens bought this divisive political narrative authored by democrats, one used to foment fear and divide the American populace.  It proved to be just more bullshit, no?  Nothing but a red herring used to obfuscate?

      Should there be political accountability now for such deliberate acts?  {And give me some props here.  I presented my point of view without mentioning the old standbys, impeachment or Russia, Russia, Russia.}

      It seems to me, and I am sure I am biased, that the leftist judges always vote together. On every case. The rightist ones on the other hand, don’t. can someone smarter dispel that notion?

      Dems have short, possibly no, memory.  It was not long ago the rallying cry against ACB was she was going to side with Trump to decide the election.

      We know that decision went….

      You are mischaracterizing the comment in an almost unfathomable way.

      (a) They are not being criticized for not being loyal subjects.  They are criticized for not ruling on the law — and the separate comment was made indicating that judges appointed by Democrats tend to vote in lockstep, which is more characteristic of your character-assassinating comment.

      (b) It wasn’t presented as evidence, it was presented as examples.  You might want to return to your high school logic class for the difference between “evidence” and “example.”  I realize that numbers are hard.

      (c) A summer’s worth of rioting is claimed to be “mostly peaceful protest” by our lefty media, people lose their jobs because a small scattering of nitwits are offended, the new President wants to erase the old President with double the number of executive orders that Bad Man Orange issued — but he calls for “Unity.”  Plus, the progressives don’t think Old Man Biden goes far enough.  He ain’t their president.

      So yeah, we’re descending into liberal madness.
