A Treatise On Abortion
Main Street, Sackets Harbor, NY
Supreme Court Justice Coney Barrett recently let this fly: (The Guardian)
Claiming the supreme court “is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks”, Amy Coney Barrett told an audience at a Kentucky center named for the Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell that “judicial philosophies are not the same as political parties”.
Remarkably, Coney Barrett offered this remark after an introduction by Senator Mitch McConnell at the 30th anniversary of the McConnnell School!
Another example of the right wing laughing at Democrats, as they “own the libs”. And the Democrats appear again to be too lame to fight back effectively.
[Update: 9/17/21 – speaking of lame, how’s this Justice Bryer’s comment – echoing Coney Barrett – that the decision was “not political” – and worse, Bryer relies on a straw man (i.e. no one said the “politics” claim was about vote trading on the Supreme Court):
Justice Stephen Breyer said Tuesday the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 decision allowing Texas to effectively ban abortion across the state was “very bad” but not politically motivated.
“We don’t trade votes, and members of the court have different judicial philosophies,” Breyer, the court’s most senior liberal justice, told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” […]
The 83-year-old justice has published a new book — “The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics” — defending the Supreme Court as a nonpartisan institution whose power depends on credibility among Americans of all viewpoints. ~~~ end update]

If Democrats were serious, here’s what they’d do (in addition to abolishing the filibuster and adding DC and Puerto Rico as States):
