Is this shocking to anyone? Every single judge appointed in my lifetime has lied to congress on what they are actually going to do.

In this instance, as noted above, they did not specifically say that they would not overturn Roe v. Wade. Whichever way you view the court or this current ruling, it would be be disingenuous to say these nominees committed perjury in their Senate hearings based on this question.

These guys didn't even lie though. Apart from the guy who said he would've walked out if asked to overturn RvW.

What is shocking is that you don't understand that in none of these videos did they say they would never overturn roe v Wade or Casey.

No they haven't. No judge would EVER commit to ruling a certain way on cases they haven't even heard yet. You hearing what you want to hear doesn't put words in their mouth.

We know that people who fall within the Dark Triad of psychology desperately vie for these illustrious roles of power - but we always act surprised when they squash people.
I get really upset that we don't have more awareness. I'm not trying to be partisan, I just - feel like we have too much respect for the court. It's human, and it's as flawed as we are.

Of course. Their job is to get confirmed and they walk a fine like to keep everybody complacent.

Because any congressional hearing is showboating on both sides. The government no longer works for the people. They all put on a big show and then collect money from special interest, plan for Cush jobs after they leave office and do their best to keep us all divided and distracted so we don’t really question what is going on.

Lol but they didn't lie. They chose their words careful to avoid doing exactly that.

I believe Sotomayor promised to unthinkingly vote Leftist always and kept that.

False. They literally are not allowed to tell congress what they will do.
