[boutons_deux]

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, speaking at a New York synagogue on Tuesday night, lamented the perception :lol that

the Supreme Court is becoming :lol politicized and that

the justices’ decisions are guided primarily by their partisan affiliation. :lol duh

“When you live in a polarized political environment, people tend to see everything in those terms.

That’s not how we at the court function :lol and

the results in our cases do not suggest otherwise,” :lol gutting VRA? C-U?

Roberts pointed out that of the court’s 19 decisions last term that split 5-4, only seven rulings divided along ideological lines. :lol VRA and C-U overwhelm, not all decisions are equal weight

The court’s always been politicized. Yep.

People still don't seem to get that SCOTUS is a political sovereign, coequal (in principle) with the President and the US Congress.

worst kept secret tbh...

although the politicization doesnt really affect most decisions, it affects the ones that get national attention because those are the ones with political implications
