13. Does anyone else think the recent fair

and decent rulings by four of the six Republicans on the court may be an attempt at image control and to head off further calls for oversight from the Senate? Obviously Alito and Thomas are too far into the septic tank to even be bothered by appearance or potential oversight.

Maybe I am just too much of a skeptical bitch, but I don't believe the majority of current Republicans do anything simply because it's the just and legally correct thing to do.
