You do know the job of a Supreme Court justice is not to report on the GOP... right?
Like, you know those are different career paths that do completely different jobs in different institutions with different rules and different checks on their roles in society?
But most directly, journalists appeal to the public. Justices appeal to the legal institution and to Congress. Completely different interests involved.
I can go on and on about how illogical that comparison is, about how those apples and oranges are worlds apart.
