That taking people’s rights away and trying to allow the gateway to theocracy isn’t popular?

What outrageous hypocrites, being originally called the "totally independent arbitrators of justice" revealed themselves instead the most bigoted and partisan Supreme in recent history, despite the overwhelming support in this Country for gay and lesbian issues, for abortion, for many other things that Society today deals with, and not the 1950s or worse view that the Supreme Court seems to have stuck in their small minds.

...which means more Democrats in Congress, which means a greater likelihood we expand the number of Justices to right the wrongs of this illegitimate, Republican-hijacked Supreme Court.

No doubt considered themselves above such mundane stuff as polls — but their reputation, yes.

Now I think they can see that is severely damaged — and Roberts may feel it, as he has lost control and Alito is running roughshod. But come to think of it, the rest of the theocrats probably don’t give a crap because God talks to them directly.
