Thomas has done untold harm to U.S. jurisprudence. Kavanaugh hasn't served long enough to provide a definitive answer but the early indications are that he will be in the footsteps of Thomas more than Scalia.<br /><br />Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearings and what has been shared about her in the media so far are not encouraging. She has certainly not been honest in the process and her experience is far short of what could reasonably be expected of a U.S. Supreme Court nominee. She will probably not be as bad as Thomas and Kavanaugh, but is still far outside the mainstream of American legal thought.<br /><br /> andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-80683425080645974252020-10-06T10:13:30.991-06:002020-10-06T10:13:30.991-06:00if trump wins,are you okay with him adding six m...if trump wins,are you okay with him adding six more seats to the U.S. Supreme Court to redressing this injustice of the Left smearing Bork, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanagh Amy Coney Barrett neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769182614452171312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-43299469255275174792020-10-05T10:58:40.136-06:002020-10-05T10:58:40.136-06:00@DaveBarnes Ha!

I want there to be meaningful protections for civil rights that can be effective when the legislative branch strays and for SCOTUS to be a stable and independent force in the political system.<br /><br />I also favor a significant reduction in the scope of what the federal courts do relative to state courts (as I've explored in other posts).andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-26151119127794253052020-10-03T17:27:28.326-06:002020-10-03T17:27:28.326-06:00hey could.

Expand the U.S. Supreme Court<br /><br />Republicans denied President Obama a U.S. Supreme Court appointment, and are now trying to secure a third appointment for President Trump in the lame duck session which may or may not be successful. Several of the conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court are far right partisans with no respect for precedent.<br /><br />Democrats are justified in redressing this injustice by adding six more seats to the U.S. Supreme Court, turning a likely 6-3 conservative majority into a 9-6 liberal majority, defined by Biden appointees. This should also happen soon to prevent the U.S. Supreme Court from interfering with the Democrats agenda or rolling back critical constitutional rights like Roe v. Wade.<br /><br /><br />and if the Republicans regain control how do feel if they also response by adding six to twelve more seats to the U.S. Supreme Court so they then have the majority 18-9neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769182614452171312noreply@blogger.com
