So long as the process for choosing them is so politicized the judges themselves will have more of a political slant than would be ideal.
To be fair, I will call out covidiots who are hanging around in large non social-distanced groups for their entertainment. However this situation with the hair salon is different. In this case a worker who needs a pay check returns to work sick because they need the money. This merely underlines that the U.S. does not have appropriate sick leave policies that will reduce this problem. Most small businesses in the U.S. do not offer sick leave. Other countries have policies that support small businesses in giving their employees sick leave with tax breaks, transfer payments, and other policies so the small business does not bear the entire brunt of the sick leave cost.
Back to the old axiom... "A" students become engineers & scientists, "B" students go into business, and "C" students become politicians. Congress is full of brainless twits. There are a few members of Congress who standout (over history) for having intellectual brain-power -- but most members are merely adequate in brain capacity.
It is precisely because of what you say that I find myself pleased with appointing conservative judges. If I believed that judges followed the merit of the law and genuinely did their best to reach conclusions, this wouldn't be necessary and we could all try to hope the best candidate got in regardless of political party. But since they only vote party lines most of the time, the only choice is to try to hope for people of your party to make it in.
In North Carolina we have our own set of violent "re-open" idiots... ReOpen NC organizer's husband says he's 'willing to kill' in fight against government in COVID-19 pandemic https://abc11.com/reopen-nc-organizers-husband-says-hes-willing-to-kill/6210132/ As the ReOpen NC protesters prepared for yet another rally in downtown Raleigh, one of the organizer's husbands suggested he's willing to kill people and sacrifice his own life for the cause. Video of him making the statements surfaced days before the group was scheduled to have five "freedom rallies" across the state on Monday in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Wilmington and Asheville. "Are we willing to kill people? Are we willing to lay our lives down? We have to say yes," Adam Smith said in a Facebook Live video posted on Friday, according to our newsgathering partners at The News&Observer. The group has held marches in downtown Raleigh for the past several weeks in an attempt to pressure lawmakers to reopen the state. North Carolina moved to Phase 2 of its reopening plan on Friday. "If you bring force, we're gonna bring force," he later said. "If you bring guns, we're gonna bring guns. If you're armed with this, we're gonna be armed with this." The group feels the shutting down of the state's merchant from the COVID-19 pandemic robs them of their right to make a living. ReOpen NC's Facebook page reads "We are mostly business owners and employees that are losing our income and denied our right to provide for our families. We have come together to demand action from their elected officials." The group has more than 78,000 members on the platform. During the protest, ReOpen NC organizer Ashley Smith said the Memorial Day holiday was a good time to gather to fight for fewer restrictions. "What better day to march for our freedom and to stand and use our voices against tyranny," Ashley Smith said. At the protest, several gym owners joined the group, advocating for their businesses to open. "How many health clubs would you stay in even before this that weren't clean?" Ed Smith, owner of Fit4Life, said. "We always keep our clubs clean. That's part of it." Previously, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen has said it's not the lack of sanitation that concerns health officials about gyms, it's heavy breathing and potential spreading of virus through the air as people get their heart rate up. The News&Observer reports organizer Ashley Smith posted the video of her husband on Facebook and took it down after media outlets began to pick up the story. She eventually posted it again on the ReOpen NC page. In the video, Ashley Smith said her husband is an ex-marine and is '"willing to die for all of you too." At the rally on Monday, Adam Smith said he did not mean to incite violence. "In no way. In no way," he said. "It was just a mindset of be prepared if we ever end up in that situation. And anyone that served in the military would know that's a readiness." Smith was arrested at one of the previous protests for violation of an executive order and resisting a public officer.
Yeah that is what I mean, we have all given up on the judicial system and simply want a judge to vote our political bias. Having the President select and Congress approve sounded good on paper but has been a political mess. No matter what you political bias is, if you are presented with a novel case and both sides make a compelling argument (as often happens when cases get to the SC), it would still make sense that the judges side with the arguments most supported by law or most persuasive for future precedent. The fact that ALL votes are by party lines shows that the judges fail every single time. I would be more impressed by a 5-4 decision if it was mixed on both sides which shows true deliberation and a result of solid jurisprudence. To hear any president say they want to appoint a judge to make sure this case is upheld or that case is overturned, or Congress take the same approach with respect to approving or not a justice, is really sad.
Not to worry; the federal government initially purchased 100,000 body bags. They have now upped the number to 1 million. Trump has you covered for your body bag needs.
