@BrianJopek THIS was when I lost all faith in #SCOTUS way back then. When I was in highschool late 1970s in Los Angeles, there was Prop 13 a school budget slashing bill that, if passed, would double class sizes and a host of other bad repercussions NONE of which came to pass when it passed, which it did. THAT was when I quit trusting the #government. This has been a long sad road to US hell for me. I first registered to #vote for Obama. My first ever presidential ballot cast was for Biden.
I would hope your faith in SCOTUS would be based in their handling of legal issues and the validity of legal arguments in public opinions, not the personal drama played out in the political scene.
Fortunately you don't need to have faith in the decisions of such a man since the US government was designed to make sure no man (no one) could hold far-ranging powers.
Checks and balances are in place specifically so that flawed humans would have their powers checked.
This ranges from having a Supreme Court that meets as a group through the extremely limited powers that the Court has in the first place.
I really don't care what this guy thinks. I do care that he's part of a system that specifically holds him back from imposing his own personal thoughts, and the decisions that come out of the Court show that.
@volkris the 'personal drama' was really creepy sexual harassment and the man in question was still seated on the bench. How can I have faith in the decisions of a man who thinks women are inferior and to be treated like playthings? How can I have faith in the institution that would seat such a person? For LIFE no less? I didnt have to wait to see what his decisions may be to know they will not be fair to women since he does not see us as deserving of fair treatment in the workplace.
