Jaundiced as I am about this stuff, I think way too much has been made of the "political impartiality" of the SC anyway.

I think most of those who have called the SC impartial over the years have been liberals who have seen most of their pet causes taken up by an activist court. I have never entertained the slightest notion that this was an apolitical body.

But whining over the partial nature of the SC falls on deaf ears. The only reason it got that high in the first place was because of the extreme partisan nature of the Florida Supreme Court. The Rube Goldberg nature of their decision overturning Judge Sauls was as convoluted a piece of work as has ever been written.

The whole process was steeped in partisanship. From the Democrats at the county canvassing boards counting dimples and scratches as votes to the U.S. Supreme Court. Democrats complain only because they came out on the short end of the stick. Blaming it on a partisan court is hypocritical.
