A court that doesn't represent the poeple

[Crepitus]

The supreme Court no longer represents the will of the poeple.

Test your Supreme Court knowledge: In the entire history of the court, exactly one justice has been

a) nominated by a president who didn’t win the popular vote and

b) confirmed by a majority of senators who collectively won fewer votes in their last election than did the senators who voted against that justice’s confirmation......

Donald Trump won just under 46 percent of the popular vote and 2.8 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. And Judge Gorsuch was confirmed by a vote of 54-45. According to Kevin McMahon of Trinity College, who wrote all this up this year in his paper “Will the Supreme Court Still ‘Seldom Stray Very Far’?: Regime Politics in a Polarized America,” the 54 senators who voted to elevate Judge Gorsuch had received around 54 million votes, and the 45 senators who opposed him got more than 73 million. That’s 58 percent to 42 percent......

And it gets worse, Thomas and Alito were both confirmed by senators who got less votes than the opposition. That mean 4 out of 9 judges were appointed against the wishes of the majority.

Courts aren't supposed to represent the will of the people. That's why states who elect their judges are constantly fucked up.

This is yet more shit that demonstrates why the Democrats lost this fight, and why they continue to lose almost every fight. Even when conservatives are dead set on making the dumbest argument they can think of, the Democrats find an even dumber argument.

The American people elected Trump in a landslide, he won 30 states outright, over 300 EC votes, the overall popular vote in 49 states by 1 million votes. Then nominated Kavanaugh who was confirmed in a bi-partisan vote of the Senate. So much for your thread I destroyed it.

again--very ridiculous--as I've pointed out before on other threads
VOTES do not tell popularity/majority wishes
very ridiculous and wrong hypothesis

While election officials are still tabulating ballots, the 126 million votes already counted means about 55% of voting age citizens cast ballots this year

The Supreme Court never represented the will of the people.

This is what democrats do when they lose. They attack the institution as having failed. When they lose an election the Constiution's electoral college failed them. Maybe voting failed them. This is part and parcel of the left's intention to destroy the nation and all the institutions that fail them and replace those institutions that only give the left what it wants.

See what I'm saying? What a stupid argument by this conservative. Losing the popular vote is being elected by the people in a landslide?

 

[blackhawk]

Nominated by a president who didn’t win the popular vote.
Presidents are not elected by the popular vote.

Confirmed by a majority of senators who collectively won fewer votes in their last election than did the senators who voted against that justice’s confirmation.
How much individual Senators win their race by is irrelevant as is the collective number of votes Senators get. Some states have larger populations than others and voter turnout varies from state to state.

There is no crisis.

There is a reason the representative of STATES select the members of the SCOTUS. The court is there to keep the federal government out of the business of the STATES.

It is unfortunate that your OP demonstrates the crisis of legitimacy we have in our educational system.
