Washington (CNN)Judge Justin Walker, now nominated to a powerful federal court dubbed "the second highest" in the nation, remains bitter that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act eight years ago.
Walker was serving as a law clerk at the time of the 2012 blockbuster ruling and was infuriated at its resolution. He has continued to reveal disdain for the decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts and offer details about his inside dealings with Justice Anthony Kennedy, one of the dissenters.
At a March event in Louisville, joined by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Walker took aim at the law commonly known as Obamacare.
"The greatest words you can hear from Justice Kennedy are: 'You're hired,'" Walker said at a March 13 investiture ceremony for the district court position he currently holds. "And the worst words are: 'The chief justice thinks this might be a tax.'"

Heavily biased justice is now going to be the new normal?
It is funny how you would naturally think of a judge as a person who puts aside their personal biases and, being knowledgeable and skilled in law, would make their ruling by way of the facts and evidence of the case itself, beyond and above personal beliefs, experiences and partisan leanings.
If you know how the judge is going to rule, then how is that justice? Sounds more like a good 'ol boy kangaroo travesty. Nothing like the smell of Fascism in the morning.
Is this going to extend to juries, as well?
