While that also sucks, it’s not really what I meant. I just hate that it’s come to the point that we need to identify the judges by their political leanings because that’s how they rule on cases as opposed to a straight interpretation of what the law says which is what they’re supposed to do.
The fact is that the brainrot that has driven the republiQans over the edge has been growing in jusrisprudence as well. Courts regularly override their own precedents when it no longer serves their immediate political purpose. Which is really, really not how that’s supposed to work.
Observe how Alito refers to some ancient religious writing as precedent to deny women the right to their own bodies. That shit ain’t canon.
Appreciate the clarification, and have to agree that noting their affiliation being necessary does suck. Its been necessary for a few decades now though, the extremes may be more extreme but the pattern itself I don’t think has changed.

They nuked glorious American law. I don’t even practice but I appreciate what it once was, especially in its aftermath.
