elected, who then take it to the judiciary hearings during nomination processes. My position is no matter what rhetoric is used or what government may
claim, the judiciary is the most consistent branch of the government when it comes to hot button issues. Contrary to Alexander Hamilton’s belief, the judicial
branch is FAR FROM being the least dangerous branch. always split and always along with the ideological view of the constitution rather than common sense
and non-partisan interpretation (from both sides). The bottom line is it’s not showing as neutral any more.
