That according to the commentator on Fox a moment ago. And yet justice is supposed to be blind.. someone tell me, how can justice be blind if you are “fighting for your beliefs and ideology” from the bench? Judges should never be fighting for their own ideological point of view. Am I wrong??

I think they should fight for the ideology of interpreting the constitution as it was written.

That's pretty damned accurate, it's just not a good thing for a judge.

So twisting the constitution to what they want it to be and legislating from the bench is fighting for what you believe in? Read the Constitution judge and the Federalist papers and it gives you a clear meaning of the framer's intent. So, no, you don't fight for your beliefs, you defend and protect the Constitution.

So did Biden - must be a Dem thing.

Oh. Wait. You said she fought for what she believed in. I thought you said she forgot what she believed in.

Never mind.

What’s funny is Amy Coney Barrett in her senate confirmation hearing had either Al Franken or another senator make a snide remark about thinking justice was supposed to be blind. While the entire time she refused to answer personal opinions because it was completely separate from her duties as a judge. I’ve watched hours of interviews with this woman and she’s never wavered on separating any personal feelings she has from her duty to interpret the law.

And yet she is openly accused of going against justice being blind.

I was channel surfing last week and came across a PMSNBC panel discussing the impact of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Brian Williams actually made the comment that in her role as a Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsberg "changed the law." The entire panel agreed. The entire panel was too stupid to f*cking realize what they were saying and agreeing to. Not one of them said, "Yeah, but it’s not the f*cking job of a Supreme Court justice to change the fricking law. It’s the job of a Supreme court justice to interpret the law. “

Not according to Sotomayor. Courts are for creating policy.

Nope. That's exactly what is wrong with lionizing a zealot, and activist judge. She fought for her philosophy and her agenda, not for the Constitution. She should be forever tarnished for the very thing we are being told she should be celebrated for. Clown world. Honk Honk.

Moral relativism at its finest. She loved her some dismembered babies.

And that is the problem...Most people also get laws and Amendments confused.

The Supreme Court is supposed to use the Constitution to determine how to apply it to current rulings. This you have to understand what the original intent of the Amendment was and apply it. Now what you think it should be.

Similar to Abortion....There is no law for Abortion. The Court at the time ruled that the 14th Amendment gave people the Right to Privacy. Thus you cannot deny people the Right to Privacy to ask for an Abortion.
