Acknowledging that SCOTUS has always been political is not controversial. But until recently, they "legislated" in a fair way, in order to maintain the appearance of neutrality. I am specifically objecting that change away from the appearance of neutrality, starting circa 2000 in Bush v Gore.
- pyronik19 4y agoits fair when you get your way, its unfair when you don't? You think "Roe v Wade" is the appearance of neutrality but Dobbs isn't? What is your standard of fair vs unfair?
- hackyhacky 4y agoCompromise. Roe was that. Dobbs is not.
- pyronik19 4y agoHow is that a compromise... a controversial judgement you like is fair the one you don't isn't? That's not a standard.
- hackyhacky 4y agoRoe was clearly a compromise, which was unsatisfactory to nearly everyone at the time. I don't like Roe, but it's better than what we have now, which is nothing.
