(58,785 posts)has always lacked the fine character and judicial temperament members of the judiciary at all levels should have, and we've always known that.
He is on the far right of the court and gives every sign of waiting only for a majority to overturn 230 years of precedent decisions since the court was established in 1789 and replace our nation's liberal legal principles with authoritarian conservatism that will smash individual and electoral rights.
Squarely in the crosshairs are the electorate's rights to choose to have progressive government programs and the right to "privacy" of decisions about our bodies, i.e., not government's business to decide if we can have elective operations or how many children we can have, if any. He already rules in favor of whatever authority is involved against individual rights most of the time.
He was a mature man when he married a mature woman, btw, and I believe his wife's frequent displays of outstandingly bad character give insight into his. She is a really nasty, far-right piece of work.
