Is the US Supreme Court still Legitimate? (Poll)

[M14 Shooter]

Taking money from an organization you are adjudicating is concerning at the very least and it ain’t just Thomas

Ah. You continue to to make a claim you know is false.

Show me where Thomas has taken money from any organization he's adjudicating

 

[M14 Shooter]

She can't. She knows she's lying.

 

[Independentthinker]

Independent minded judges never happen.
Politics has to factor in, just look at Roberts' deciding vote to save Obamacare, that made Scalia scream...
The US is hyper-partisan and getting even more so.

But we need to put a stop to the hyper-partisanship.

Every time I think that Biden cannot be any worse something else shows up lol.

Ok. Democrats first.

Wrong.
If someone needs a kidney donor, blood donor, etc., to survive, you can refuse.
Then it is NOT { ...certainly unConstitutional to deprive it of "life, liberty, or property without due process." ...}
Deciding to not support something is not at all the same as committing murder on a viable individual.

Pro-Life Killers

Because you desperately want to be on top, you're spinning your dizzy reply like a top. The obsolete Puritans who preach that abortion is murder are certainly saying that it is unConstitutional. It doesn't matter if such pushy fanatics are only concerned about proving that abortion is not a Constitutional right. As I noticed early on during this manufactured wedge issue, a logical conclusion from their doctrine is that if they really meant that abortion is "baby-killing," then they would campaign to declare it to be unConstitutional.

Second, in your confusion you revealed that it is inconsistent for the fetus-fetish Je$u$ salesmen to condone abortion to save the life of the "mother." Letting her die so that a baby can be born is merely manslaughter, while aborting the "baby" would be First Degree Murder under their loose-constructionist interpretation of the Bible.

"would like not having it" .... HOW?

"EC is a has been policy", so therefore we will retire it .... HOW?

And no it's not my camp when it comes to "SC is illegitimate". SC was dully formed in accordance with law (even if not in accordance with not-partisan design, or congressional agreements). It is legitimate as far as LEGALITY goes.

The Trickle-Down Netrix

Because of our elitist political system, Americans are unable to judge for themselves. Instead, they follow some self-appointed and self-interested "Good Shepherds." In this tangled thread, the legitimacy of 9 washed-up political-hack lawyers forcing their personal opinions on 300 million people is not really being debated. Those who suddenly oppose the existence of this tyranny only do so because they are in favor of a right to abortion, while those who suddenly defend SCROTUS only do so because they oppose abortion.

In Hollywould, there are no false narratives, <giggle>

Whst's false about it?

Nothing. It is pure entertainment for actors to take a part and to say what someone else is said to have said. It's complicated.

 

[Borillar]

Conservatives don't want to get rid of the SC, or the electoral college.
The dems seem very unhappy with the SC....and the electoral college.
It doesn't take rocket science...it just takes common sense to understand.
Maybe you're the one not getting it straight.

Cons don’t want to get rid of the Supreme Court because they just got done stacking it in their favor. Likewise, they love the antiquated electoral college because it works in their favor.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

The problem with these complaints against the court are always the same: utterly devoid of any semblance of standards. We all know why you think 5 justices are corrupt to the core. It has nothing to do with what they do or even how they rule. Just who appointed them.

Everything else is just post hoc bullshit to justify the forgone conclusion.

Logic Overturns Your Ruling

Three of the four justices appointed by the Leftists' hate-object, Richard Nixon, voted in favor of abortion rights. So why didn't the Left oppose abortion rights if Nixon's justices approved of them, especially since two other Pro-Choicers were also appointed by a Republican.

I'm lost; I don't even know what we are talking about anymore.

 

[AsherN]

As I recall, both Kavanaugh and Barret said R v W was established law protected by stare decisis. Nope.


Options that might take the politics out of the court:

• Every President gets one SCOTUS pick every term. If there are no deaths/retirements at the end of his term, the most senior justice gets the boot.
• Every President gets to add one SCOTUS pick to the court every term. The number of justices will vary and is not fixed.
• The justices serve for a fixed number of years, no lifetime appointments

Every District gets a justice. The President has no say. The longest serving Justice is replaced by another Justice from his/her district. if there are an even number of district, the Justice that should have left stays for an additional year.

Nominees are randomly picked from serving Federal and State courts with a minimum number of years on the bench.

This thread has devolved into nonsense.

Intentional?

Most liberals are good people and have been for the 276 years in which liberals and conservatives alike have served. Their liberal leaders no longer represent the good people in their party. Instead of being for the people, their leaders' thoughts are focused on how to get fast-track rich on treasures that fall into their laps trading influence for diamond rings, freebie mall trips, free Air Force military planes converted into luxury transportation, cash under the table for expediting foreign trade money back into their own pockets, and things unknown to most of us that make reasonably wealthy congresscritters unreasonably wealthy. IOW, some leaders think the people that voted them in office to prosper their states are unaware their end goal is to walk away filthy rich from money they access that the people paid for in taxes levied by their insistence for "pet projects". You'll get used to it in a couple of decades, Mr. Billo Really. But I'm just saying, you may not like it when you realize how it burdens families rearing the young who used to earn money the hard way. Many young people have found by doing nothing whatever still puts a feast on the table in an air-conditioned home someone else is paying for. People who pay their taxes to fund blood suckers don't always care to be tapped and tapped and tapped some more by the blood suckers printing trillions of dollars for pet projects their constituents are having to work hard to pay back, and indeed, cannot pay back the trillions the most recent Congress has bestowed upon itself. It requires a narrative that obfuscates from the public what is really transpiring under the stark omerta silence required to keep the public working to fund this endless self-enrichment program for beating up on those who know better.

Never happen. Its only going to get worse.

Yes. Your false claim was intentional.

The cons did what the libs would have done if given the chance.
By the way, it's not stacking the court.

The Electoral College is a key component to the Constitution as it gives every state representation.
I know you're all for mob rule, but it ain't going to happen.
