What is your view of the rulings and imprint he is having on this court . Talking about the gerrymandering case and the census case, what we are seeing is the gerrymandering case was a wonderful opportunity for the justices to step back and say we are being asked to do something that judges arent entitled to do in the constitution which is secondguessed the redistricting going on. There is not a Legal Standard for that. It is political and judges shouldnt get into that. That was a great conclusion. Majority, the chief justice and the other conservatives. We saw the court going the other way in the consensus case and the chief justice leading that. He seems to want to be chief Justice Marshall and give a little to each person and the less out.
