{Semi-} OT: - Supreme Court

Whether the court has a left or right majority it has always been a branch of government with either liberal or conservative decisions .

True and, as a country, we get the court that we deserve.

Yes, but there was far more restraint in overturning long standing decisions than there is now with this right-wing court. As I said, stare decisis is dead.

Ok, but to a significant degree “Conservative” judges come in 2 flavors - activists (eg Thomas - who is unabashed in this), and literalists (eg Kavanaugh). But liberal are essentially all activists. Eg the history of (liberal) USSC decisions on Civil Rights law was amazingly not just expansionist, but often explicitly contrary to the actual language of the congress that passed the law.

Note: since this is a biotech forum i will not comment further here.
