More L*****t Hyperbole.....

The left has made so much noise about the current composition of the Supreme Court so much so that there was a strong push coming from the far left to pack the court by expanding the number of justices making up the court so that President Biden could appoint 4 or more justices to swing the courts bias to liberal. The fact is that republican appointed justices are not as partisan as liberal politicians and media portrays them to be. The article below highlights that the liberal justices are actually more often in the majority than are the staunch conservatives on the court. For me it also highlights the reckless disregard that many liberals have for our country's norms and institutions of our government, packing the court, an amazing threat to stability in our governance.

What happened to the 6-3 Supreme Court? The next 2 weeks will tell us.
The Supreme Court is entering the home stretch of a term that — at least so far — has confounded the narrative of a court fully captured by the right: Ideologically polarized 6-3 v**es have temporarily disappeared, and the liberal justices are getting their way more often than the court’s staunchest conservatives.
In the 39 decisions in argued cases that the court has handed down to date, the three justices most often dissatisfied with the results have been the three most conservative justices. Justice Samuel Alito has dissented in 10 cases this term, Clarence Thomas has dissented in nine and Neil Gorsuch has dissented in seven, according to a POLITICO analysis of Supreme Court v**es.
All the other justices have three or fewer dissents. And the justice who has been in the majority most often is a shocker: Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s most liberal member who in prior terms has consistently been the court’s most frequent dissenter.

This wording captures some of my concern: "the reckless disregard that many liberals have for our country's norms and institutions of our government."
