If you're the POTUS, you get to make those decisions."Elections Have Consequences."
It's only true and acceptable when Obama and Pelosi say it. Otherwise, it shouldn't be.
No.
I don't think ideologues should be sitting judges. Especially on the Supreme Court. Scalia and Thomas have made it very clear they are both ideologues and do not care about conflict of interest rules.
Alito, I feel, is not only an ideologue but doesn't have the standing (In terms of intellectual depth) to sit on the Supreme Court.
We in the "chattering class" merely have to live with those decisions.
"Elections Have Consequences" is just a fact of life.
My point was..in regards to the SCOTUS, it shouldn't. That's something FDR got wrong..and that was something Reagan and George W. Bush got wrong.
Most American presidents have been very responsible in this regard.
