I think it had more to do with a case brought before the court which required a ruling based upon actual constitutional principles and being forced to abandon suspect rulings in defense of proper jurisprudence.

When you read the actual quotes, it seems that nominees (regardless of which president is doing the nominating) have learned to couch answers to specific partisan questions in the most ambiguous way possible. Look at the most recent appointee’s refusal to define what a woman is. I think it’s possibly the only reasonable response to opinion-shopping politicians.
When Kavanaugh was asked about abortion in his confirmation hearing….
“It’s settled as precedent of the Supreme Court,” Kavanaugh said. “One of the important things to keep in mind about Roe v. Wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times.”
p
Kavanaugh's lack of character might have been reaffirmed many times if Trump's FBI had bothered to check out the thousands of tips they got to that effect.
More news showing republican lack of concern for veterans voting down things they previously were in favor of (ie burn pits).

Moronic trump back in the news with Saudi-backed golf on his course and disparaging the PGA.

I am sure if I looked I would find more disgusting republican news.
That vote was pure vindictiveness. They were upset because of the possible upcoming reconciliation. Ditto with their derailing of the Chips Bill. And a birth control bill, among others.
And, in other news, more January 6th texts are missing: "Text messages on the phones of former President Trump’s acting Homeland Security Secretary Chard Wolf and acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli were lost in a “reset” of government phones, The Washington Post reports." (Tickle the Wire) Convenient.
i’m going to ask you, do you really want supreme court nominees deciding their ruling before doing the important work of hearing cases evaluating evidence and processes, and deliberating with peers? I mean if we’re going to do that then why bother to have them even deliberate?
I do not want that. And Supreme Court justices are capable of changing their mind even if actually on the Supreme Court.
We all change our mind on issues and that is a GOOD thing. Remember how that guy Barack Obama and the presidential nominee Hillary Clinton changed their minds about gay marriage? If I voted them in based on their original idea of gay marriage, do I call them liars later when they change their mind?
IL.. They lied. It was a VERY short time. The rulings were already decided previously. Look at #264 above.
I am going to vote today. You can bet it will not be for the lying republicans. And, yes, they are lying “bleeps” in my state.
