Those "rock ribbed republicans' be cutting off their nose to spite their face.
I said Conservatives, not Republicans. Most hard right folks are no longer Republicans. I no longer know of any Republicans in my IRL friends, and for the most part, that has been so for a very long time. Republicans have been hemorrhaging Conservatives for decades, and nothing y'all are doing is inviting them back.
And as is always the case, judges are a poor example. See Roberts - A shining example of Conservatism, or so he was sold. It will take years to know if this new batch are worth their salt.
If the government were in its proper form, the Congress would be impeaching judges by the gross for what they have done by fiat, and what they continue to do. But as for Tump's appointments, as I have said all the way along, wait and see.
And while there have been things he has done right, there is damn little enough to prove your claim upon my nose.
