So you support puting a political person ( of your political party choice) on the court, as apposed to an honest educated more neutral one?
I do not want a political person on the Supreme Court from either party, but I am convinced that a democratic president will surely nominate someone that is far more progressive and IMHO if the Court ever reaches the point where it is controlled by progressives then this country is in far more jeopardy than if the opposite was the case. IOW, I believe a conservative Court is much better for all of us than a progressive Court would be. It's not a question of honesty or education, no doubt the current progressive justices are just as honest and educated as the others. But I also believe that they will interpret the Constitution more along the lines of their politics and invent rights that are not enumerated,
while the conservatives are more likely to be more originalist.
