Politicized

I continually marvel that liberal justices can be reliably predicted in how they will rule and "conservative" justices cannot.

The marvel fades when I see how each side selects judges.

We select them based on their knowledge of the Constitution and law.

The left selects them based on partisan position and adherence to the current narrative.

Thus it's no shock when the liberals adhere to the party line and conservatives rule based on the apparent merit of the case.

We're not selecting for political purity, but the time may yet come.
