The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

While I agree with Ketanji about almost nothing at all, it's interesting how cynical the ProgLibs are, as to view Ketanji as not an honest jurist, doing her best to rule on the law fairly and impartially--but rather, as a partisan, conniving manipulator going through all kinds of mental calculations solely to try to "beat Trump."

I understand that your would automatically think that. What she actually did was to make sure the legal system worked - and timely, since there was public safety involved.

She did not rule “partisan” one way or the other, she ruled to get the case moved along rather than get stuck in an endless queue at the USSC. She moved the issue back down to a court which had already considered it, told them to move timely (48 hours) and was done.

Her response was not partisan in any way.

Hard to believe, I know, since you are now used to having judges decide things not on the legal merit but on whether they are hectored into submission by the 300 pound toddler.
