In 19 of the 24 5/4 decisions in the 2006-2007 term, the votes broke down political lines, which is why I want to look into this further to see if this is a hell of a fluke or if it represents the overall voting records of the justices. If it does...
- then Hillary becoming a Supreme Court Justice is not a good idea because it will simply continue the status quo of political bias. Hillary has proven to be a politician through and through, which combined with her partisan decisions would mean that she would likely be just another justice that represents Democratic interests on the bench.

so now you're editing your posts 8 minutes after someone else responded so that your thoughts are buried and lost inland in the thread. Again, being intellectually dishonest in your posting. You've not bothered to edit your other posts, but this one you decide to do so after people have commented on them? Seriously...why let reality based information distort, correct, or change your point of view.
You've stated you'd explain how you see the seperation of powers and checks and balances, I've requested you explain yourself better, and this is the best you've posted?
Will, you really don't know what you are talking about at all. Each time you post, you prove it yet again.
See you can't just go back 6 years, you've got to go back 232 years of case law to compare and contrast to state hypothesis. It's not as simple as stating "The past 6 years have been politically biased...." No your statement is that the SCOTUS as a whole is broken. It didn't just break, it has to have been broken from day 1. You've stated that the process was fucking stupid from the beginning.
Still waiting for your explanation as to how you understand the seperation of powers and the checks and balances.
