I'm hearing that I'll be a handmaid soon. Or I would be if I hadn't already been killed by tax reform and net neutrality. The fill in the blank protest signs, like they used with Gorsuch, were an especially nice touch.

Note the Federalist Society had its ad buy in favor of the candidate lined up before the announcement. Blank signs indeed.
We all know this process has become overly politicized. The politicization of the court has been a goal of the right for my entire adult life; court composition has been a huge rallying cry on the right, all in response to their grievances on the court's role in civil rights decisions.
But how to stop the spiral?
My preference would be a court with much more substantive expertise, that didn't render decisions in IP or Tax cases that left specialists scratching their head or that wrote a cogent and supported version of American history that could withstand scrutiny by actual historians. I'd rather see fewer political entries on resumes for the Court. But only ideology matters today.
