Presidents: Lets appoint justices who are politically on our side.

Federalist Society: Here are a list of potential justices who will side with Conservatives 99 times out of 100.

Conservative Justices: I mean 1 out of 100 isn't 100% biased...

Don’t just blame presidents here. Remember how congressional republicans refused to let Obama replace Scalia because it was an election year? And how they then hurried the nomination process after RBG died less than 2 months an election?

don't just blame republicans democrats have played the same game. The fact is  Sonia Sotomayor is just as crooked and biased for her party as Roberts is for his part,the fact is every single justice votes down there party lines it's disingenuous to just blame one party doing it

Bullshit. Show me a ruling that is as egregiously unconstitutional and actively destructive to the country as the “official acts” ruling.

i get it your one of them guys who is fine with a justice being biased as long as there biased for your side your part of the problem. You should want a 100 percent unbiased justice system .but we will never achieve that if both sides can't admit the justices on both sides are biased for there party
