I would honestly love to see The UK to turn back into Britain.

I honestly don't know why Scotland, North Ireland, and Wales put up with it beyond dependency and tradition at this point.

It isn't like Britain respects them (well maybe Wales)

One of the few times I've seen "Britain" used where "England" seems to have been intended, rather than the other way round...

Your action failed, that doesn't mean it was a role block. You haven't told us what your action is, so Indonmt know how it might fail.

huh... you have any hidden autos you'd like to share?

Off the BBC comments I was picking up a bit of anti-Scotland rhetoric. One that stood out was something like 'Watch out, Scotland. We're on parasite removal duty.'

The Supreme Court isn't loyal to the parties, per se. Though Supreme Court Justices are typically clearly put on either the liberal or conservative side of the isle, it's also a pretty common complaint that one Justice or another "betrays" the party they're supposedly aligned to by not supporting their interests, hence all the talk about wanting a President who will appoint a Justice who will remain "loyal".

In reality, the best way to assess the loyalties of the Supreme Court is through two factors. First, the Constitutional interpretation they use (Textualism, Originalism, Dynamism....*shudder* Christian Reconstructionism...) and secondly, their normative ethical stance (typically rendered as "liberal" or "conservative", even though that isn't exactly accurate).

But

whatever happened to having impartial judges
