An excellent discussion, expertly moderated by BW. A full breadth of erudite and well thought opinions on these matters. While I respect all of these opinions, I must opine that the SCOTUS has acted in good conscience and does not seem to be partisan.

An excellent discussion, expertly moderated by BW. A full breadth of erudite and well thought opinions on these matters. While I respect all of these opinions, I must opine that the SCOTUS has acted in good conscience and does not seem to be partisan. I , of course, am not a progressive or liberal, though I consider myself center-right. The Constitution is the North Star of our society. We should all strive to uphold the spirit of this brilliant document, though we will certainly debate the language as literal or loaded. We need to teach coexistence with views that will always be opposing and disparate, but we cannot cast shame or doubt on the institution of the SCOTUS. It would be irrational to imagine that any SCOTUS judge can be clean slate, as each enters with values and worldview. I agree that the SCOTUS has three cohorts: liberal, conservative, and swing. The court does reflect the nation in its diversity of values. Brilliant discussion.
