Not in a post Trump supreme court era it isnt
I'll keep saying it; The Supreme Court is conservative, not partisan. They owe Trump nothing and have had a few surprising decisions lately.
I don't trust them a bit, but neither do I trust they'll always make the wrong call.
I don’t think that’s right. A group that very strongly believes in the Republican Party and its agenda and values would still be definitively partisan. Partisan has always been used in the context of following party lines, not necessarily one person.
But you can trust they will make the wrong call after geting a very expensive vacation and a few dufflebags of money.
Hey, thanks, that's a useful (and probably fairly accurate) distinction and I'm happy to find that a positive shift in my viewpoint, if minor. The corruption might be a really big problem or it might be one guy who's an aberration for being wildly outside the court's norms, really unclear on that part. But I needed a solid reminder that it's not quite yet another ruined and hypocritical institution we once held dear.
If you believe this, I'm not sure you've been paying attention.
The Federalist Society is 100% in bed with the Republican party, and they have chosen essentially every SCOTUS pick by a Republican President since (at least) George W. Bush.
They also stacked our federal courts during Trump's tenure.
To suggest it's not partisan is naive.
