Like many people who are ethically challenged, you confuse will to do something with savvy to do it. "You're just not smart enough to lie like me." No, subs, some people are just more ethical. The Democrats mostly need to be encouraged to be more politically shameless, not more savvy.
It’s is noted how often subs’ rationalization above is used by those so often claiming a higher moral ground than their political opponents.

Fair enough. It's what happens when I post on my phone while waiting for someone.

Arguing that increasing partisanship on the court is a sign they lack intelligence seems like a bad way to refute my previously stated belief. That being, you would prefer an authoritarian decision maker or committee who cut through tough decisions like Alexander cutting through the Gordian Knot with ease. How closely their judgments align with your prior beliefs of what is right or wrong is still the measure you seem to use when determining if the court is flawed or not.

actually it is EA that is conjuring up some sort of yet-to-be-seen-imaginary "higher moral ground"...a concept that you, and others, maintain as woolliness from another thread.

Oh, do you have a ‘moral ground’? Or is that something restricted to others?

If you had bothered to read the thread, i noted how "moral high ground" was a term of convenience for the posters using it, especially since they had no foundation for its structure...check the context, return and report.
