I think this proves that Supreme court justices are not aligned with any political parties. They take their roles very seriously. Kavanaugh looks to be very much a worthy Supreme Court Justice, same as Roberts who was elected by Bush (whom I hate more than Trump). I'm glad he was able to survive the ridiculous antics he went through and I think he will be a good justice regardless of what people think his allegiance was.


Proves is a strong word... It's a data point to be sure, but it's not proof.


It really does prove it. If they were completely aligned with politics, they would have ALWAYS voted in a predictable way.

They may have more conservative or liberal tendencies, but to think that that all Justices will vote the way that people want to pigeonhole them into is ridiculous.


You are seeing things in a very black and white way.

I suppose it proves they aren't 100% (not 99.9999%....100%) bound to always make decisions precisely aligned with a political party.

But no reasonable person suggested that.
