I sent flowers and I'm going Saturday...anybody else? I'll drive.

From today's fake outrage...

[tweet]Six total woman have served on SCOTUS. Three of them have publicly been called on to step down for the greater good by the men supposedly on their side of the aisle. That's 50 percent.

Stop constantly asking women to sacrifice their careers.[/tweet]

[tweet]Enough posts about how the liberal women on SCOTUS need to resign for the greater good. "I also think all the sucky men should retire" is not an equivalent. Four is the most women we've ever had on SCOTUS at one time, and we never get these articles about the men.[/tweet]

[tweet]It just feels gross to have men saying "These women need to step down" from a post that has been traditionally made up of only men. Sandra Day O'Connor was only appointed in 1981. Gonna need about 150 more years of lots of women before men can call for them to retire.[/tweet]

Who the hell is asking for women to resign from the Court?

Democrats think Sotomayor and Kagan should retire so 30-35 year old radicals can be appointed while Dems still have the Senate and the White House because they probably won't have both again until 2032 at the earliest.

Let's be real though. RBG not stepping down when she clearly didn't have much time left when Obama was still president is a huge stain on her legacy.

I suppose if you look at the Court through a partisan lens and think of justices as representatives of the parties that appointed them.

That is correct. I don't think it is right or good, but I feel that is the truth.

Mitch changed the rules. They should get out of the way and let someone younger take their spots. Its going to swing the other way to at some point with Republicans trying to get the old guard out when they have control again.


Realistically every President should get an appointment every two years and they justices should have term limits of 18 years. Though that will never happen.

The Supreme Court is one of the most respected institutions in this country. The justices ask great questions and dig deep into cases. Their verdicts are followed by everyone even when many disagree with them. There was an NPR story a few years back where most verdicts are 9-0 and lots decided with a strong majority like 8-1 or 7-2. There is a lot more consensus than you would think.

I would suggest the more broken part of the system is the Senate like the Robert Bork nomination or lack of consideration for Merrick Garland. Also Congress deferring power to the President, and the increasing trend of executive orders are much more problematic to our governance.

Difficult issues like gun control and abortion are always going to upset half the population. The losing side is going to say we need some fix like term limits. But it would not change the controversial nature of the decision. The current system has worked for the entirety of the Republic. There is no reason to change the Court.

Thanks to the Federalist Society, that's exactly what they are. It would be nice if they were more than that, but they're not. They are there to execute their respective parties' orders. It's the same as the Senate, where Pennsylvanians happily elected a drooling vegetable because he'll do as he's told more amenably than the Republican would do as he were told. Everyone just does as they're told, and increasingly, they're told the same thing anyway.

Liberals really betray their innate monarchism with this Supreme Court stuff. Past getting onto the court in the first place, there was nothing special about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She became too ill to work, worked anyway, but you could have found hundreds of Jewish women who went to Harvard or Yale, replaced her, and not missed a beat. We don't need a Science King and we don't need a Law Queen.

The divisions on the court are the same as divisions in society. The justices have true philosophical differences in the interpretation of the Constitution. Congress is the most dysfunctional part of our branch system.

The politicization really began with what was done to Bork, didn't it?

The president is entitled to his appointees whether to his cabinet or to the courts. "Advice and consent" doesn't mean bringing in politically motivated liars to smear the nominees nor does it mean that the majority leader should bury a nominee until the next election.

Unless the nominee is a flat out criminal, the president should get consent from the Senate.
