Ray Keating sorts through the ugly politics on both sides of the political aisle when it comes to the Amy Coney Barrett nomination to the Supreme Court. While acknowledging that she likely would be a fine addition to the Court, Keating also addresses the issue that ultimately frustrates those of us who desire a Court that is not activist but instead one that properly interprets and applies the Constitution. That problem is stare decisis, or elevating precedent to the same level as, or even above, the Constitution and the law. Keating hopes that Justice Barrett will follow Justice Clarence Thomas, but he has his doubts.
