makes total sense.
Leftist appointees, such as ginsberg, sotomayor and kagan have their obvious leftist bona-fides. Its obvious for all to see, and its why they were selected by Clinton and Obama.
For some reason it seems Republicans are still scarred from Kennedy’s assassination of Robert Bork.
Yes. Republicans never have a problem in voting for hard core Leftists to gain immense power. Democrats would NEVER vote for a provable Conservative. The Democrats have pwned the Republicans for decades.
Bork is a non sequitur. The GOP has a horrible track record period. The GOP’s record of justices Pre-Senator Kennedy contained many judicial defects. The problem is not Democrat “assassins”, seems to go much deeper than that. Namely a lack of a unified purpose and resolve.Also who doomed Bork? 3 Republican Senators, not the Kennedy “boogeyman”.
I believe Bork would have been a fanastic appointment. But the spaghetti-spined Republicans let the Dems demagogue him. And with a Democratic president, those same Republicans rubber-stamp the likes of Bader-Ginsburg, Kagan, and Sotomayor.
