Just a constant back and forth between "oh well, the justices have all made token statements about being non-partisan, right??" and "the docket looks pretty partisan with abortion, gun rights, and affirmative action taking the stage..." lmfao
"Unelected Council of Elders determines minority populations and women will have civil rights limited. Now, for political news."

Has the Supreme Court ever done anything good? The only things that come to mind are roe VS wade and same sex marriage. Everything else I know about is awful like that one decision that says police have no responsibility to protect civilians.
Why do libs like them so much
Hahaha the last thing I heard before I got out of the car was them talking about Roe v Wade & abortion rights in the court's eyes and they were like "yeah well RBG was the champion voice for women on the court and unfortunately her replacement...." like yeah maybe you idiots should've had the geriatric justice retire when Obama was in office so that Trump didn't get a free appointment, rather than uh...make action figures for her and cheer her on when she officiates weddings during a pandemic???
Obama asked her to resign. The dems asked her to resign. She blew them off
"In bad country, government is run on cult of personality and it all falls apart when the charismatic leader dies."
She wanted to retire when a white woman became President. Uh oh spaghetti-os, that didn’t happen
Hey, the got civil rights right too - it only took them a few tries.
Libs like them because libs are idealist, and the Supreme Court works perfectly in their hypothetical reality. Admitting that the court doesn't actually work would require considering that all of the other aspects of American Government that they fetishize don't work either.
Why do libs like them so much
Because they exist to preserve a status quo, which is what libs actually want.
Loving v. Virginia which found antimiscegenation laws unconstitutional is a pretty major one. in Hague v. Committee for Industrial Organization they ruled against a mayor that was trying to ban literature distribution by unions. Engel v. Vitale found mandatory prayer in public schools unconstitutional. You can skim through this list and it's mostly good stuff (because all the bad rulings usually just uphold the status quo). the supreme court has, on occasion, made good decisions. doesn't mean it's not a fundamentally antidemocratic insitution.
Why do they have any authority, nobody elected them, neanderspawn need to stop weebing out over ancient rome
