I don’t know anyone who respects and reveres the Supreme Court. At one time people who did not like Congress or the President still held the Court in awe. Even if we didn’t agree with its decisions, it was the deliberative branch. Judges who were Democratic or Republican when they were appointed lost that partisan edge and often worked toward consensus.
About 20 years ago, with the advent of Scalia and Thomas, that all changed. The Court is just another partisan branch of government. The decision on the 2000 election was made on party lines, and it has gotten worse since then.
Even if the revelations about Judge Kavanaugh had never come to light, he still should not have been approved. We know how he will vote on the Court. If you give me a case, I can tell you. If there is a legal question that affects Trump, I can tell you how he will vote. He will not be deliberative; he will not be a defender of the Constitution. He will advance his ideology.
A majority of the Senate is poised to enable him to do that. These Senators have no integrity, no love for this country. What they have is loyalty to their funders and their ideology, and the Constitution be damned.
