I believe Justices should honor their conservative judicial philosophy and practice judicial restraint even when it is their own ox being gored. Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito suddenly abandoned their principles and became activist judges when presented with a law they disagreed with politically. So much for "principle."
No, they recognized that the statute was Unconstitutional as written and refrained from the activism of fixing the law from the bench. Fixing a law instead of interpreting it is the classic example of activism. It is legislating from the bench.
Shocking
Do you think he was payed off?
I think Roberts was trying to forcibly demonstrate his power.
So you don't accept recommendations from the American Bar Association? What about the American medical Association? What about the Nobel prize Committee?
Kagan was a clerk for for Justice Thurgood Marshall of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1988. On June 17, 1999, Clinton nominated Kagan to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to replace James L. Buckley, who had taken senior status in 1996. The Senate Judiciary Committee's Republican Chairman Orrin Hatch scheduled no hearing, effectively ending her nomination. Unconstitutional move by the GOP.
Only if ranked by the radical right. According to C Span he's about even with Ford and above Nixen and GW Bush.
The founders of America were revolutionaries. In no sense were they conservative. The conservatives of that time supported the British and were traitors.
I rank him among the worst and I am far from the radical right.
C Span. Well, there is an unbiased source! LOL!
Stupid move. Political move. But perfectly constitutional.
Why would I accept a recommendation from the radical left wing lawyers union?
Why would I support a group that counts only about 25% of doctors among its members but spends more on lobbying than all other such organizations combined? Do you support their endorsements? They endorsed Obamacare then endorsed Trump's choice for secretary of health and human services, Representative Tom Price, an orthopedic surgeon-turned-congressman who’s led the charge to overturn Obamacare. Duh!
What about them? They gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize before he ever did anything. You mean the same Nobel committee who refused to give Henry Eyring a prize because he was a Mormon? Or how about Fritz Haber who developed poison gas used in World War I who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918.
Why do you think they called it the Revolutionary War. Were Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale and Samuel Adams quiet, unassuming keepers of the status quo? They were radicals intent on overthrowing the government by the British.
Do you even know what the term conservative means? It means someone who wants to maintain the status quo. Yes, our forefathers were liberal even radical. The Civil War was about slavery pure and simple (and I'm a Southerner). Should Christians support slavery? I say not.
... What CSpan does is broadcast meetings of the Congress. That's "liberal?"
