I remember reading, in Sowell's "...@Linda:<br /><br />I remember reading, in Sowell's "Vision of the Anointed", that multiple Leftist SCOTUS judges were of the same bent: verdict first that matches their societal vision, and argumentation after - argumentation that supports their predetermined conclusion. Who was it, IIRC the Notorious RBG, who said they would not look to the US Constitution in drafting a new one? And of course they cherry pick from foreign court rulings to rationalize their own imprimatur they are stamping on their decisions.<br /><br />A former co-worker once said "Any data set can be tortured until it confesses".

I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

I've seen rumors and supposed pictures of him being on the flight logs of Epstein's Lolita Express.<br /><br />As I understand it, citing one example, he was in the middle of drafting what would have been a majority opinion to strike down Obamacare and cast it into the fire, destroying it, when suddenly he did a 180. As I recall from the article I read, this so angered the Conservative Justices they refused to speak with him.NITZAKHONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110716447757507226noreply@blogger.com
