Why do liberals hate low taxes?
As a hard working man, I want a tax system that's as light on me as it can possibly be. I want a judiciary that's going to protect my right to my money. Liberals, however, seem to believe just the opposite. Why do liberals like high taxes and bureaucracy? I can't understand it; how do they think businesses can survive in such a hostile climate?
Should our next Supreme Court Justice be conservative or liberal?
Somewhere in the past (2010/12) we were told that elections matter. The current President was elected by a majority of the voters in the US. One of the Presidents duties is to, should the need arise,appoint Supreme Court Justices. So Liberal as he can get confirmed. We lived with a Conservative leaning court for a while now we are going to have a (maybe) liberal leaning one. After the senate does it's job. The Constitution: They love it till it conflicts with what the RWNJs want to do.
Why doesn't the US Supreme Court system have neutral judges but have either liberal or conservative, is this the right way to judge things?
What is “neutral”? In other words, how would a “neutral” judge decide cases?If you ask some legal scholars (typically called “conservative”), they’d say that the “neutral” way to decide constitutional cases is to go as closely as possible by the text of the Constitution (because the text is law - any amorphous “principles” were never expressly voted on by anyone and are therefore not law) and to read that text to mean whatever it meant when it was ratified (since, if the force of law derives from common consent, then what the law means should be what people actually thought they were voting on).If you ask others (typically called “liberal”), they’d say that the “neutral” way is to look to the noble principles exemplified in the Constitution’s text, and reach a conclusion that best advances those principles and aims while being maximally “fair” to the parties.All that it means to say that a Justice is “conservative” is that he (or she) sees “neutrality” as meaning the faithful application of the most probable meaning of the text, whether or not it leads to a “good” result. To say that a Justice is “liberal” means only that he or she sees “neutrality” as properly encompassing the question of “what outcome should result in this case?”So, unless you want to amend the Constitution to define which of those approaches is “true” neutrality under the Constitution, then just accept that at least 90% of the time, SCOTUS Justices are “neutral”… according to the definition of “neutral” that their own judicial philosophy mandates.
