Trump has used the same standards of incompetence and character flaws to make his Supreme Court appointments as he has to build his cabinet. So we have this wonderful gift, from the past two Republican Presidents of the United States, a Supreme Court made up of individuals who not only did not possess the credentials in the federal judiciary or legal field to advance to a job with the kind of Constitutional responsibility as the Supreme Court, but who seem almost deliberately inept and incompetent, as if they think their job is to sabotage the court, upset the carefully crafted balance of power in the Constitution and throw the government into confusion, by undermining it.

America's founding fathers operated under the impression, which has, in modern times become an illusion, that the individuals who would be considered for appointment to these kinds of public office would come from among those who had studied the law and the constitution, and had a respect for its principles and for the limits and balances that it placed on government power and its use. They clearly did not expect its members to be driven by partisan politics or personal ambition, but by a desire to serve the public, defending the most vulnerable and enforcing the guarantee of equal individual rights for every single person within the boundaries of the United States of America.

Considering those ideals against the backdrop of decisions made by this Roberts court makes them look like some kind of sick joke.

But, what do we expect?
