I gave it a read as well. The author is entitled to his own take on how the supreme court judges should handle the cases that comes before them.

I think that's the only thing he's entitled to.

The judges always have differences in their opinions, and they are hand picked to best reflect the changing times of the American culture and society. To follow the original constitution strictly without making adjustments to suit the current needs of the American public would be both archaic and falls short of meeting the needs of our current generation.

As for grouping the 2 separate instances of the timing for new SCJ nominations, once with Obama and another after the passing of RBG.

He's right about one thing. The hypocricy is glaring.

But I do see the need to maintain the spirit of the original document, in as far as the work the Supreme Court does.

I think maybe instead of conforming strictly to the original document like the author believe we should do, we can prehaps find some ways of laying down guidelines for the SCJ to follow. That guideline could be voted on by the American public.
