Married to Jebus even if she does have a mortal husband?

All I know is there are not enough RC’s on the SCOTUS, never mind xians

Kidding, we need to pack a few Muslims, Jews and Buddhists on the Court to more accurately reflect our actual population.

nine justices would be adequate.

But instead, justices are appointed by the political views they have. They become an arm of the political parties who favor them. The entire selection process has become corrupted. Dems can be principled and get their noses bloodied by unscrupulous GOPers on a daily basis, they can get overruled by political hacks on the USSC, or they can re-balance the Court with their own favored political justices UNTIL real jurisprudence again becomes the norm.

Who in the GOP is thinking that packing the Courts in Trump/McConnell's style is good for the nation? Who in the GOP is thinking that a war footing between the two major political parties in the federal government doesn't serve the best interests of the US citizens? Who is thinking that the influence of people like Newt Gingrich poisons the atmosphere of Congress so much so that the national will takes second fiddle?

Anyone???
