(22,164 posts)If the OP is an indication that people here are going to start bashing the 3 liberal justices because their colleagues are assholes, I may have to take a break from DU to keep my blood pressure under control.
Serving on the court right now has got to suck for those women. No matter how many brilliantly reasoned dissents they write, they're in a no win situation that requires them to sit and watch while the supermajority cranks out one terrible decision after another. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
The 3 liberals can't control the actions of the sinister six, and publicly criticizing the conservatives would just make things worse, however richly deserved that criticism may be. Suggesting that they do so is a terrible ides.
Sonja, Elena, and Ketanji need our gratitude and support, not senseless, unfounded scolding. Berating them for not launching public attacks on the other 6 justices is extremely misguided and completely unfair.
