There was a time not too long ago when the courts were neither red nor blue. They simply enforced the laws on the books.
These days the courts are biased. Many are blue, some are red.
We have a criminal justice system that throws common folk to the wolves and lets the rich and politically connected run free with no repercussions.
Much of this goes back to FDR who got stymied by SCOTUS. He threatened to simply add justices to the nine until he had a court that would do as he wished. He was talked out of it.
FDR changed what had been a pattern and politicized SCOTUS.
Prior to FDR SCOTUS judges were seated because they were basic Constitutional scholars which in a way was overkill. The Constitution was intentionally written simply enough for a regular guy to understand it. Extreme scholars were really unnecessary.
Still, FDR started politicizing SCOTUS and it has only gotten worse and worse by the year.
SCOTUS is not supposed to be red or blue. It is simply supposed to read the law of the land and determine the constitutionality of various laws, rules and regulations. Their job is to keep Congress and POTUS acting within the Constitution as it was written.
