In reply to the discussion: Former Judge Resigns From the Supreme Court Bar (lost faith in the Court) [View all]Baitball Blogger
(51,922 posts)9. So many good quotes:
"the Court majority, under your leadership, has become little more than a result-oriented extension of the right wing of the Republican Party, as vetted by the Federalist Society."
and,
"The rationales of textualism and originalism are mere fig leaves masking right wing political goals; sheer casuistry."
So, now that we all know that the Supreme Court is no longer fair and balanced and is a right-wing institution, what's next? Do we bring up Marbury and Madison and castrate their power?

OP
Alito has usurped the Chief Justice office with Dobbs. Roberts is figurehead.

Exactly - his words certainly won't sway a single right winger, in fact the right will be better off

I didn't notice that. Sorry. But I DO have to wonder- esp now -why others haven't followed?

Will any TV news channel read this on air or even report why he's quitting?

That's scorchingly righteous -- and from 2 years ago. Mahalo, Judge. This deserves wide circulation.

Another ethical stand that the "both siders" will ignore since it puts them in an awkward position
