I’m fairly certain a website like FiveThirtyEight found that the lack of term limits for SC justices moderated them and some of their more extreme viewpoints, but that it mostly brought conservative justices towards the middle, rather than liberal ones. I don’t remember when the article was written, or if it was even written by FiveThirtyEight. I just remember reading it and finding it interesting.
IIRC all justices drifted left during their tenure, until Thomas, after which the righties stayed hard, hard right. They finally figured out how to keep their puppets in line.Cornell University

If you boys hadn’t tried to lynch him for having the temerity to claim to be a black conservative, Thomas probably would have shifted left too.
Oh wait, no, you entirely meant to use that word. Still a twat.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Do you seriously claim you don’t remember Thomas accusing the judiciary committee of conducting a lynching of him?
God, you right-wingers are such snowflakes.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Dump just made his 200th judicial appointment. He has already made more Appellate appointments than Obama.
Even if we can take all three branches in November we are going to have to de-Nazify the courts somehow. I recommend we just nullify the entire Dump term and impeach his entire slate of judges and replace them.
McConnell's coup requires a counter-coup. Then we can make it impossible for the orcs to ever do it again.Last edited by Kepler; 06-24-2020, 02:52 PM.Cornell University
