What's the deal with this judge. He is republican and conservative. One of the major issues is abortion. However I also see that the vast majority of democrats (80%) and half of Republicans (49%) support abortion. That's means roughly 65 percent of Americans overall. Is this judge really going to overturn something that most Americans want. Why would he do that. Also the judiciary does not create law just interpret it? So shouldn't abortion be decided by the senate anyway?
Otherwise I keep hearing that his nomination will effect the Supreme Court for decades? Do they serve untill retirement? That seems a bizarre way to have it work.
What other rulings are people worried about?
Imagine a video game boss where the boss will always tilt the environment to favor by 10% a particular type of player or a specific character. You still have to do all the work to get to the boss, but once there, they're going to do that tilt.
Now imagine if there's nine bosses and five or six of them all tilt the same way, while the other four or three barely tilt the other ways possible. A skew always happens and it starts to snowball fast. Add in that the outcome of the favored player or character appearing before them are prohibitions or deregulation of things that a small minority want to take away from the vast majority or turn into the playgrounds of billionaires.
That's pretty fucked up and that's what's being fought over.
The big crime is that the staffing of judges on a lower level is already taken over by the Republicans. They have put 30 to 40 years worth of their heavily skewing bosses everywhere already.
