The only way anyone can discover how a judge MAY vote is by actually reading past documented, decisions and opinions.

All of which can be found here https://www.supremecourt.gov/

Well it is business as usual because SCOTUS appointments have little to do with merit. In Brown Jackson's case the person who appointed her, Joe Biden made it quite clear why he wanted her. It was based on race and gender. That's a matter of public record.

Nobody ever takes the time to read documents and opinions of the justices. If they did, they’d find they have nothing to with diversity and the skin color of the judges.

That rhetoric is reserved for the masses. Headlines sell papers.

Here’s two I randomly picked. Tell me, do they lean team D or team R?

The fact that Ketanji Jackson won't state her belief in whether individuals have inalienable rights or not as laid out in the founding documents should disqualify her as a Supreme Court Judge. The underlying purpose of the Supreme Court is to safeguard those rights. At this juncture, only time will tell whether She is "qualified" or Just another "Kamala Harris".

I do think candidates really are presented to Congress on the basis of their merits by their peers. I don’t think the SCOTUS is as the media puts it, filled with team Liberal or team Conservative. Reading their decisions they talk law and form opinions based on the law. Where things really get dumbed down to the lowest level possible is when politicians get in front of cameras and microphones and speak to the masses.

So what? How does that disqualify her since they are all picked for one reason or another.

Did I say it disqualified her? I said the reason Joe Biden picked her was because of her race and gender. And that probably was a political favor to Representative James E. Clyburn for saving Joe's bacon in the South Carolina primary.

Les.Were going for a 1 party rule in this country. And at my age i could not be more ecstatic.How many years were we on Bull**** train, Listening to the same Politicians when we were in our 20's .And they were young Politicians and they were going to Change the World but the 20's turned into 30's yes those same Politician's started becoming wealthy.
And then they said we are working night and day to keep the promises it's the other party that landlocks us.Put us back in and we will work even harder.Now they have had a few divorces and joe taxpayer pays for their Indiscretions heading into their 50's an 60's. But by now we have learned .Their trade is lying and deception.They can never walk back down a cobbled pathway they never really walked up to begin with.

Isn't it funny how that is the way the majority of Americans felt about the authoritarianism the attempted self-coup by Trump represented.
