Op-Ed: Are Supreme Court justices ‘partisan hacks’? All the evidence says yes

If Supreme Court justices don t want to be seen as partisan hacks, they should not act like them.

In a speech last week at the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville Law School, Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, This court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks. She added, Judicial philosophies are not the same as political parties.

Setting aside the irony of uttering these statements at an event honoring Sen. Mitch McConnell, who blocked the confirmation of Merrick Garland to the court and rushed through the confirmation of Barrett precisely because of their ideologies, the reality is that time and again the court s Republican majority has handed down decisions strongly favoring Republicans in the political process.

Does Barrett really expect people to believe that is a coincidence?

Oh good gracious. Erwin Chemerinsky calls the Supreme Court ‘partisan hacks’ or as good as. That’s right. Erwin Chemerinsky. It recalls the Biblical injunction concerning logs in your own eye. In this case, Dean Chemerinsky would have to see around a whole lumberyard. As you might expect, my views on the politics of the Court are so nuanced as to be practically inexpressible, but in my view Erwin disqualified himself from making these sorts of criticisms loooooong ago.
