[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77249969, member: 123415"] While the judicial branch has a better track than the legislative (in terms of the lack of hyper polarization)...Presidents appoint certain justices for a specific reasons. Trump explicitly said he had intentions of appointing certain justices that would "see things the conservative way" on some select issues. This just doesn't happen to be one of those issues in particular. I think the reason why some see it as "surprising" is because certain sets of views (even if not related to each other) tend to be compartmentalized. For instance, if liberal justice was appointed, specifically because how liberal they were on LGBT issues and economic issues, many on the conservative side would be "pleasantly surprised" if that justice made a pro-gun ruling (because, while those issues aren't directly related, those stances on them tend not to go together) [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
