Here's the real question-how did justices that rule by the law and the Constitution, instead of their feelings or personal desires, come to be known as "conservative" justices?
Simple answer: They are not.
They are called conservative only because they were nominated by a Republican.
They are in process of making partisan arguments as we speak, so they are very much "activist judges". Kavanaugh is saying no votes should be counted after election day, and that argument has nothing to do with the Constitution, and everything to do with carrying water for his political leaders.

Nice to see I am not the only one who can see Roberts for the super liberal joker he is.
Yep, ACB negates that jerkweed's narcissism and judicial tyranny. 5-4 solid majority for textualism. The US Constitution is once again protected, even if by a fragile majority.
I think it's actually 5-3-1 at this point. Roberts isn't a liberal but he sure isn't a reliable conservative vote either. If we wind up having a scenario like we did in 2000 with a disputed election, I think Roberts would rule on the side of common sense, much like an Anthony Kennedy used to do.
But - you can never be sure.
Heard an interesting theory that Roberts won't be as likely to side with the lefty SCOTUS Justices anymore since doing so eliminates the possibility that he could write the majority opinion. Siding with the minority negates his legacy as Chief Justice. So... we'll see...

To be fair, Kavanaugh is not actually a legal scholar of any sort.
He's a Republican political operative who committed perjury during his Senate hearing.
You're right and I double dog dare them to do this. The country will once again see a party who tries change the rules every time they lose.
There is no rule on how many judges sit on the SC, so no rule changing. But nice try. I did see another 'rule' broken. You know the one team red was promulgating back when Merrick Garland was up for nomination. But of course, in that situation it wasn't a 'rule' either, right? You guys crack me up. Selective myopia must be a wonderful thing.

Kagan was never even a judge before being put on SCOTUS. She was an administrator at a university. She was as unqualified to be a SCOTUS justice as Obama was to be POTUS.

His accuser didn't know where she was, what happened, or if it was Kavanagh that might have done something to her 35 years ago. Nice try.
