No one likes him - mrbigstuff - 03-05-2025 I bet this is the root of his dysfunctional ego https://youtube.com/shorts/WXdLnsngq6U?si=q4sF8zwmbpqPpUZU Re: No one likes him - $tevie - 03-05-2025 I am not even sure that Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh are all that enamored of him at this point. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but they both seemed polite to a fault but after he passed their expressions look disapproving. https://www.c-span.org/clip/joint-session-of-congress/user-clip-trump-greets-the-justices-after-his-march-4-2025-address/5155822 Re: No one likes him - pdq - 03-05-2025 $tevie wrote: The leopards are coming for their faces now: MAGA Rages at ‘DEI Pick’ Amy Coney Barrett for Defying Trump … That decision caused a MAGA meltdown, with Coney Barrett taking the brunt of the ire. Right-wing influencer Paul A. Szypula labeled her “disgraceful” and added that she is “a bad SCOTUS nominee.” :RollingEyesSmiley5: Re: No one likes him - Acer - 03-05-2025 My unsolicited analysis: The litmus test that the right has been using was abortion. That issue was the Right's Trojan horse to get the last conservative in place on the Court, by bringing religious white women voters on board with the party. It worked pretty well. But the problem is that a genuine, rather than politically expedient concern for the unborn is founded on empathy. Starving kids in Africa to save a few bucks is counter to that empathy. It bit MAGA in the butt this one time. And maybe more, if the culture war continues on its non-empathic path. But it only goes so far. If empathy is not directly involved, say when declaring the President sovereign over rather than an employee of the State, she can still be relied on to follow Alito's odors. Er, orders. Re: No one likes him - Ombligo - 03-05-2025 More than one justice has changed their expected views after being on the bench for a while. Perhaps the greatest example being Justice Harry Blackmun. Appointed by Nixon to be a conservative voice, Blackmun became one of the most liberal judges of the last fifty years. Once a justice gets past their honeymoon, they realize they can vote their conscience and that can change some of them in ways unpredicted.

Something untoward could "happen" to ACB, then he can replace her with whomever he wants. Re: No one likes him - Lux Interior - 03-06-2025 PeterB wrote: Nothing nefarious.
