Showing Original Post only (View all)When anybody can become a US Supreme Court Justice... [View all]
...then we end up with a Court like we have today.
For most of our lives we expected a certain balance and a certain bipartisanship that prevented such predictability as we now have on the Court.
It required a certain type of leadership and an innate intelligence to keep the justice system from falling apart.
It required justices that were not married to their political ideology.
We no longer have that.
We no longer have the intelligence or the partisan separation that is needed to maintain trust in our Court system.
The Supreme Court has been corrupted.
It is no longer a legitimate voice for justice in this country.
Just my opinion.

Look behind them. This court is the result of dark money buying its own justice for its own ends,

It is a Subversive Court, fashioned by Moscow Mitch to destroy the federal government.
