We all know blackout drunk, doesn't equal sexual assault, otherwise many of us, myself included, should be in prison. But that's not how that would have went down. We're in a sad place, on both sides (probably been like this before my time too), where party matters over truth. The ends justify the means.

In regards to whoever is on the supreme court, if you don't make your rulings based on the constitution, you should not be there. Don't care what side you're on. The SC was never supposed to be politicized like it is now. Says a lot about the "leaders" we have voted into office.

You’re right about the gotcha aspect.

As for the politicization of the SC, I actually think that’s overblown by a) people’s fears over Roe v Wade and b) the media highlighting all the times a judge ruled in favor of one political mindset and failing to mention all the times he voted in favor of the other.

We’ve seen Roberts go in unexpected directions as a SC justice and he was supposedly one of the most conservative. I think their leanings are consequential, but they still stick to the interpretations of the written statutes and constitution.
