The multiplication of division
I don't know where the "unite not divide" language in politics derives, but it seems a bit ridiculous when applied to the Supreme Court, as in this one-sided AP article. It is particularly hypocritical of the Dems to demand a "uniter" on SCOTUS: their favorite judges are hardly uniters. The Democrats on the Massachusetts Supreme Court tore the nation apart when they usurped the legislature and discovered a right for gays to marry. The Democrats on the 9th Circuit (the most liberal and most overturned of all the circuits) divided the country when they struck down the Pledge of Allegiance. On SCOTUS, the most liberal members like Brennan and Ginsburg have hardly been "uniters".
Liberals' demand for a "uniter" shows how Democrats misunderstand the role of the courts. Unlike a President or Legislators, only the most activist judges can do anything to unite a country. Courts decide cases. Courts interpret law. Courts weigh facts. Courts do not unite.
