early 20th-century journalist--said "the Supreme Court follows the election returns." That has been conventional wisdom ever since, and was true even long before that.

Come up with those judicial ethics guidelines. He has none. He's too busy ruling in his wife's favor and cashing in. He makes Sam the Sham and Crimey Clarence look almost human

11. Political actors is a "soft" way of identifying those 6 republicans SC justices as the partisan political hacks they are

They've destroyed any shred of ethics, honor, and integrity that the Supreme Court had.
It's not a matter of "unpopular decisions", it's a matter of destroying the ability of American Citizens to get fair treatment in regards to the most important rights we hold as as nation.
Voting rights trashed, civil rights trashed, women's reproductive rights trashed!
Theirs is a deliberate destruction of that which makes this nation truly great.
The Supreme Court has no interest in the constitution, or the rule of law. They see America as a nation where White makes right. And, even within that perverted concept, they further narrow their definition to White Male makes right.

They have done everything they can to debauch the reputation of the Supreme Court as an honorable institution. And Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to complain about how the public sees the Court!

And it will end, eventually. These people need to be punished.

Start by expanding the court, and stripping Roberts of his Chief Justice title.

16. Explain to us why you have to make those unpopular decisions.

Many of your rulings make no real sense. For instance, grounding your understanding of constitutional law in the patterns and practices of the America of the 1700's seems frivolous at best in the 2020's.

Roberts got his job as reward for helping to engineer the necessary legal arguments that got W appointed to the presidency. He's since been joined by two of his helpers on that dubious endeavor, Kavanaugh and Barret. And he doesn't want us to see him as "political"????? Riiiiiggghhhttt.
