Justice Anthony Kennedy is Confirmed… As Your Standard Republican Ideologue

John McCain Blasts Republican Supreme Court Justices

on March 28th, 2012 at 3:28 am

Last year, the five conservative members of the Supreme Court, all appointed by Republican Presidents, decided that corporations were people and could spend unlimited sums on political campaigns. Since this was a 5-4 politically partisan decision, it made a lot of people upset. After seeing the results of this disasterous decision, even conservatives are ticked off.

Can You Really Be a Judge If You’ve Already Made Up Your Mind Before You Hear the Arguments?

That’s the question we should ask Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Thomas will go down as one of the worst justices in recent history. He goes into every case with his mind already made up. As the Supreme Court Justices today fired questions on the ‘ Obamacare’ mandate across the bench, one voice was notably […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
