Yes, that’s the point, Bill!

    Yes, Barr. Having conservatives on our highest court, have undermined the meaning of American justice, and thus removing them and keeping them out is a good long term solution, intended by term limits and oversight.

    Yo is this that guy that’s in criminal contempt of congress and supposed to be in prison?

    That guy with ties to Epstein who died in his custody after 2 security cameras mysteriously malfunctioned at the same time and 2 guards were “asleep”?

    The guy Trump hired to obstruct an investigation into himself?

      The same barr who jumped ahead of the release of the Muller report to lie to the press about it so they ran with his version instead of reality…

    I would really like to see our supreme court filled with neutral people. Someone that will side with the law, not religion, not party lines. It’s really what we should have but clowns are going to clown.

      In theory that’s how it works already. In practice, there is currently no disadvantage to appointing partisan judges and no system in which to objectively measure partisanship of a candidate. What that means is that there will always be partisan parties appointing partisan judges and there will always be candidates who claimed to be neutral who will be either accused of or proven to be partisan anyway.

      In the current system true neutrality on the bench does not exist

    That would be funny if all the justices got got by this. Just having the SC have zero justices on the bench for any amount of time would be a funny thing to happen while I’m alive.

    Eh, it’d be a good step in the right direction if they did stack the court (though term limits and a code of conduct are laughable half-measures at best), but I have my doubts the dems will do anything. If they sincerely believed that the american right wanted to end democracy and put dem politicians in camps (to be clear, they’re fine with other people being in camps), one would assume they’d be using that newfound presidential immunity to start drone striking “threats to the republic”.

    Edit: oh and obviously whatever tools the dems use, the republicans will use more ruthlessly as they care far, far less about optics. Might as well play to win.

    It’s journalistic malpractice to write an entire piece on expanding the court quoting Bill Barr without even once mentioning the corruption that got us here.
