Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I get what you're saying, but since she was appointed by Trump himself, there's no way she was ALWAYS good..
That's not true, he made conservative choices, not everyone was in his bag. Being conservative isn't inherently a bad thing, MAGA has just made them seem like monsters. Good people can make bad choices too.
In the context of American politics? Yes, it is.
Groups like the Heritage Foundation, ALEC, and the Federalist Society (whose lists Trump picks judges from) are all profoundly awful and were all mainstream conservative power brokers for decades before the party went full fascist
Fixed that for you.
True, but judges literally make choices for a living.
To be recommended for any position by the Federalist Society, a judge has to consistently make such awful decisions over a long period of time.
To do that, they'd have to just genuinely be a bad judge who makes so many bad decisions that benefit rich and powerful people that them being good people would be a purely theoretical possibility.
I get it. Their all evil bastards and not bamboozled goodfellow's with bad generational politics. Just saying you'll never see the end of this if you can't find the things that connect us over the things that divide us. Us or them is game the elite play, against us! From both sides of the aisle. That's why more politicians aren't up in arms over what's going on, and they fight so hard against outsiders like Bernie Sanders and Zohram Mamdani.
