The Supreme Court: What Happens When Politics Trumps Law

May 12, 2014

Political party partisan division now defines our Supreme Court reports Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court for the New York Times: "For the first time, the Supreme Court is closely divided along party lines."

The Court has been divided previously, of course, but now is the first time in 225 years that it is divided along party lines, Democrat v. Republican. Not good for us or for the USA.
