Wouldn’t it be dull if judges were appointed purely for their legal expertise, jurisprudence, and balance and you would broadly expect the same outcomes from most or all of them? Imagine if you could snip all the filthy political fingers out of the judiciary.

There is no such thing as apolitical law. Lawyers have fundamental disagreements about the meaning of the words in laws and the constitution. Highly educated lawyers of equal prestige can come to very different conclusions about the same words. The fact that people pretend otherwise removes our ability to select judges appropriately. I wish law worked otherwise, but it just doesn’t. For me, it’s clear the federal government has a job to ensure all citizens have equal rights and that states cannot abridge those rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which are clearly laid out as fundamental rights of all people. But then again the same people who wrote those words didn’t think women should vote and bought and sold humans.

>There is no such thing as apolitical law. Sure. Laws are made by politicians. That absolutely does not mean that judges should be politicians. All the more reason for them not to be. They should interpret the law without bias.

How does that matter as it will end up at Supreme Court regardless

This is technically not true. The Supreme Court decides whether or not it will hear a case. In fact of the thousands of cases brought to them each year they only hear about 50-75 or so. So there's genuinely no gaurentee this makes it that far. In fact, a 2025 EO from Trump with similar effects never made it beyond the lower courts. It is now permantly injunctioned.

The pedantry is unnecessary. Obviously the Supreme Court will hear this case— the same way they chose to hear blatantly unconstitutional birthright case
