Agreed. Elsewhere in this thread someone pointed out that some recent justices may have been... less than truthful... in answers to the Senate during their nomination hearings, at least giving the impression that they'd continue to support Roe.
My response to that seems not to have been popular. It's the job of the Senate to help vet the nominees based on their abilities as judges. I don't think the senators should be making these decisions based on the nominee's adherence to a particular ideology. And to the extent that the senators are deciding based on this, it's those very senators that are making the Court political - don't blame the justices.
