    And yet there are a striking number of high profile cases decided on a party line 6/3 vote. They can tout the supposed impartiality of the court all they like, but the numbers show otherwise.

    Toss in the refusal to have a hearing on Garland with nearly a year left of Obama’s term, then rushing Kavanaugh in, and of course changing tune when RBG died at the end of Trump’s term to claim it was important to seat someone right away where both politcally motivated. Had none of the above nonsense happened the slant of the court would be much different now.
