The Supreme Court should have 10 justices, 5 conservative and 5 liberal.

Way easier said than done.  Breyer was picked by HW

What they should do is have nominees selected by their peers on the federal circuit become qualified after a certain amount of time or something.  Then pass those nominees over to a bipartisan committee in the senate.  5 dems and 5 republicans.  This would force judicial appointments acceptable to both sides.

Having impartial justices would be ideal.

I get what you're saying, but this kinda pre-supposes the idea that one must be either a Republican or Democrat to participate in this process.

I’m all for destroying the 2 party system.  I just referenced that because that’s what we have.

Warren was picked by Eisenhower and he changed profoundly on the court. Ike later considered this to be one of his biggest regrets.

Brennan was also picked by Eisenhower and became probably the most liberal justice ever.

Blackmun, by Nixon, and he wrote the majority opinion in Roe v Wade.

Stevens, by Ford, and changed into a liberal.

Souter, by GHWB, and veered to the left.

At least Obama got it right, as Kagan and Sotomayor are reliable liberals.

Roberts I think might turn out to be a swing vote. We'll see.

Kavanaugh may also surprise, though my liberal friends laugh at that suggestion.

I changed the title to better reflect the reality.

She could have ten more years at this rate.

Are you sure she's actually alive?

"Ruth Bader Gins-Borg"  LOL

[UndertheHalo]

You guys suck shit at Star Trek.  She’s no Borg.  Borg have no self interest and only advance the purpose of the collective.  If she was Borg she would have done the right thing and self euthanized before 2014.

She is a cyborg and not the Locutus following kind of Borg

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has declared she is “cancer free,” beating the disease for the fourth time after undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer in the summer.

The 86-year-old justice, one of the oldest to serve on the Supreme Court, offered the health update to CNN in an interview in her chambers Tuesday evening.

“I’m cancer free. That’s good,” Ginsburg said, with CNN reporting that she was “sounding energized and speaking animatedly.”

RBG is a boss.

Good for her, but she might just be whistling in the dark. Time will tell.
