The Uselessness/Deception of the Term "Reagan/Bush/Trump Judge"

USSC overturning of Marbury is on a par with the congress passing term limits on itself...

This Belt is a Noose on Everything Outside It

Why do we give governing bodies the sole right to police themselves? That's what the Constitution does, so it is an enemy of national self-determination, confining that power to the Beltway.

If judges claim a political affiliation and are elected--then their political party probably is a good indicator of how they will rule.
As far as appointed positions..who appointed them really does not matter. The president recommends someone..and his party, usually rallies behind them.
IMO..the best Federal judges are those that are recommended by a President of one party and confirmed by a majority in the Senate composed of the opposite party.
Compromise often brings the best person to the job.
Partisan rubber stamping can result in biased judges. the SCOTUS is a different animal though---once a guy gets a job for life..all bets are off.

Looks to me that both political parties act like, well, political parties.

While US congressmen are usually members of the Democratic or Republican party, they are theoretically under no obligation to vote according to the majority opinion of their party. But just how often do members of Congress or Senate vote against their own party?

According to the Brookings Institution, the answer for 2014 was

94% of House Democrats
95% of House Republicans
99% of Senate Democrats
90% of Senate Republicans

This is the percentage of members who voted with the majority of their party on average. Note that for any particular vote, this means that at least 50% have to vote with their party. Because whatever side more than 50% chooses is the one that counts.

If you want the against numbers, I guess subtract from 100%. But this is the form in which Brookings had them.

This data is from Table 4 in Chapter 8.

FiveThirtyEight has a more recent table for agreement with Donald Trump. However, they don't have an alternative way to measure how often Democrats agree with Democrats. And of course there may be some issues on which Congressional Republicans disagree with Trump while agreeing with each other. Also, this measure is on an individual basis rather than for the parties as a whole. I mention it because, well, at least it's current.

Look, it's really not very complicated --

95% of Lawyers are dimocrap scum and 100% of Judges are Lawyers.

Simple.

The Judicial Branch IS the Deep State. And it is way past time time we told them, simply -- "NO!"

They have no power to enforce their decisions. They have no 'Judicial Review". Most of the power they have (somewhere around zero) they awarded to themselves. Know who says they're a co-equal Branch of Government (They are NOT, there are three functions of government not a division of power 3 ways). But you know who says there is? The Judicial Branch. They routinely award themselves powers not elaborated on in the Constitution -- Out of thin air. No Legislation, No enumeration in the Constitution, no -- Nothing. They just pull it out of their asses.

And elected Representatives, the ones responsible to The American People cower in fear because the DISGUSTING FILTH is part of the dimocrap scum cabal as well and also because mose elected Republicans are gutless.

It's time the Judicial Branch does their job or we need to just ignore them. What are they gonna do about it? They have no power, just Black Robes
