by John Hinderaker at PowerLine:
Liberals constantly worry about conservative domination of the Supreme Court. Would that it were true: the Court’s conservatives have long been a diverse bunch, and, unlike the liberals, they have never formed a consistent voting bloc. I have sometimes wondered whether Democratic nominees go through a secret ceremony in which they pledge to vote the Democratic Party line in any case where the party demands their vote. Probably not, I suppose, but it often seems that way.
Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute has done the math:
There were 67 decisions after argument in the term that ended in June. In those cases, the four justices appointed by Democratic presidents voted the same way 51 times, while the five Republican appointees held tight 37 times. And of the 20 cases where the court split 5-4, only seven had the “expected” ideological divide of conservatives over liberals. By the end of the term, each conservative justice had joined the liberals as the deciding vote at least once.
That dynamic isn’t something that sprang up in the Trump era or with the court’s newest personnel. In the 2014-15 term, with Kennedy at the height of his “swing vote” power —the last full term before Justice Antonin Scalia’s death and resulting year-long vacancy — the four liberals stuck together in 55 of 66 cases, while the four conservatives (not counting Kennedy) voted as a unit in 39.
Shapiro makes this obvious point:
Speaking of politically fraught cases that end up 5-4, it’s notable that there’s never a question of how the liberal justices will vote. Speculation runs rampant over whether one of the conservatives will go wobbly — whether out of unpredictable moderation, minimalistic pragmatism or idiosyncratic theory — but the liberals are guaranteed to please their constituency.
While the liberal justices vote together in political solidarity, the more conservative justices have divergent approaches to jurisprudence which they actually try to apply with intellectual rigor. That may be commendable, but it explains why the Court as a body is more liberal than one might expect.
Answer seems rather obvious….For the past generation and a half Dems have chosen lefty leftists to the Supreme Court BAR…..the more Ginsberg-extreme, the better.
Half of today’s GOP Conservatives are only half Conservative and of the Big Business kind, the ones close to lots of $$$ and/or like majority Dems, never had to work for a living!

I’ll be 85 next month. I was raised by an American mother in St. Paul, Minnesota during the Great Depression and World War II.
My Father was the financial provider who loved my Mother and worked 48 to 54 hours a week managing a Liggett Drug Company Store downtown St. Paul.
Mothers were real mothers then. Whether poor or not so poor, they were the principal teachers, feeders, caretakers, problem solvers, and clothing makers for their off-spring, while the human male animal labored except on Sunday to keep the family fed, clothed, and housed together!
With the exception of Hollywood’s movie creatures, divorces rarely existed in our nation’s family homes then. Reno, Nevada was too remote, too pricey, and the mood of American culture too overwhelming to destroy the JudeoChristian U.S. family.
Nearly everyone in America was Godfearing in those days before the 1950s.
Death within our families was not uncommon. My grandparents were dead before I was 13. My grandpa, Frank Lawrence Ray was born in Cherryfield, Maine before our nation’s Civil War began. He died from a horrible cancer in 1917. Mom’s mom also died of cancer seven years before I arrived. Yet, my German speaking Great Grandma Kraft, was the last of our older generation to pass on, lucid to the very end in 1948. She was born in 1850.
It was in the 1960s America’s females began to disappear as real Mothers. Divorcing became easier. Church was attended lesser. Marriage became more and more meaningless. It began to disappear. The sexes began to change. The American female began to leave motherhood for a career. With the exception of some old fashioned Christian families, she began to check her child into a ‘caring’ children’s ‘home’, abandoning Motherhood except for nights and Saturdays and Sundays.
There is a pretense today in America that there are no real differences anymore between male and female. One is now “free” to select their sex….sexes, depending upon moods or types of ‘mothers’. Is the She really as equal to the HE, in our now feminized American military? Are men and women of today really identical? Are we that ignorant?
The American family has about disappeared. The nation had become leftist in its persuasion. One sex, free for all, everyone….except the Google, Amazon, and such, and the feminization of schools and universities and the Dem newspapers rule the roost.
What does “Nature” have to say with all of this?
I am still in the landscape business. Creating beautiful landscape gardens has been my drug of choice since childhood. I have lived on a half acre the past 45 years artistically planting and caring for countless trees and shrubs, all of which I have planted or are progeny of what I have planted creating my Garden of Paradise. Its paths are both beautiful, mysterious, tempting the visitor to explore further.
Few or perhaps no human female animal is so driven. Which leads to my lesson of this day I pass on to the female tolerant regarding a major difference between the human male, a natural warrior, builder, inventor, problem solver, and the human female child producer, who in America no longer is her child’s real Mother!
Sorry, today’s leftist feminist fascists of all sexes. There is a difference….countless differences, between the human female and human male animal!!! I often use my garden as an example. Suppose an adult female and I or most any adult male happen to be prowling not too far away from each other in my Garden but alone.
Suppose a violent, terrifying, lion-like animal roar is heard suddenly but unseen by both visitors somewhat separated in the garden. What is the natural animal instinct of the human female and human male as animals?
Both become terrorized! ONE AUTOMATICALLY SCREAMS AS POWERFULLY AS SHE CAN announcing she is in serious trouble and needs protection!
The other automatically shouts “Shut-up”, freezing as an animal he is to gather some reality, some Truth and consequences to what he just heard…..Should he engage in fight, flight, or freeze to protect and save the both if possible.
I don’t think today’s American college students and graduates have enough learnings to know some of the overwhelming differences between the human female and human male animal especially those automatic in the animals we are.

I was seven years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed bringing our USA into World War II. I was a child of the Great Depression up to that point. American men worked. American women were homemaking Mothers. Motherhood was highly honored in American society looking back where I lived. Women as a class were highly regarded in the culture where I lived, very, very Christian raising children at home and married! Family incomes were the fathers’ responsibilities. In my relatively newish urban neighborhood they took in about $5,000 or slightly less annually. We moved into our newly built “five room bungalow” in 1936 about the time our neighborhood grade school was built. Television didn’t arrive until 1947. Of the 16 homes on both sides of our block, all but two families had one or two kids. The Jahnke’s across the street had three girls in their older teens who baby sat at ten cents an hour when needed.
Nearly all, if not all, of the kids under age twelve were dressed with family hand-me-downs as all of my clothes were. Mother made most of my sister’s dresses.
On good weather days, spring through September, washable clothes or curtains and such would be drying out on clothes’ lines hooked to garage and a clothes pole. Moms also gardened both flower and food plants near the alleys by the backyard.
During the War nearly every house hold had tomato plants growing among the flower gardens. Boys learned to play kick ball or kick the can in the street. Girls were all tied up playing dolls or paper dolls or jump rope in someone’s back yard, which gave Mothers time to gather, chat, chuckle, share Victory Garden produce, and often butter or milk, salt or sugar they had fallen short of.
My dad was head pharmacist and manager at a Liggett Drugstore downtown St. Paul on Seventh and Robert. Although gasoline was rationed during the War, most dad’s like mine, stored their autos in their garages until the War was over. Most guys too old to join the military during the War worked at least 48 hours a week always away from home.
All of us kids had real Mothers all day long Summers, weekends, and vacations usually Saturday’s as well governing family children and the home nearly the entire week. Such women had a right to claim Motherhood.
Today’s Mother is overwhelmingly an entirely different animal. With the exception of several religious groups, most American females who enter Motherhood are mothers for only a week or two past delivery of any child. She may prefer her career. She might not be married. She may dump her offspring upon her jobless Mother or Grandmother. There may be no Father.
Well, there’s always Saturday and Sunday for child rearing Lefties might say. But most leftist feminazis usually ignore motherhood. They prefer to teach at universities these days.
The vast majority of today’s American family women are something other than Mothers these days….at best, only on weekends or during summer vacation.
No wonder our current Americana under age 30 have become so interested in our today’s Democrat Party fascism they absorb in school and at university!!
There’s no real Mother around. Fatherhood majority disappeared decades ago!
