I think the system is broken if the personal affiliations of supreme court judges plays such a big part in the outcome of cases.
It should be about the law, not about politics. They're supposed to put that stuff aside when they take a legal office. Trias politica and all.

- GekkePrutser 4y agoNot new. Just naive.
- l33t2328 4y agoLaws are the result of politics. I think it doesn’t make sense to say you can interpret/reason about laws in a non political way.
- svieira 4y agoThis literally was about the law. Ruth Ginsberg held that Roe v. Wade as a bad decision. https://www.law.uchicago.edu/news/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-offers-critique-roe-v-wade-during-law-school-visit https://www.law.uchicago.edu/news/justice-ruth-bader-ginsbur...
- ceejayoz 4y ago> Ruth Ginsberg held that Roe v. Wade as a bad decision. This is a very misleading reading of that critique. Ginsburg would've preferred the right to abortion be established a) explicitly a right of women, not a right of doctors to practice and b) via many incremental decisions, making reversal harder. Practical critique; not "bad law", but "not secure enough to trust". As the recent decision demonstrates quite effectively.
