Their position isn’t popular with any American who loves democracy. The same anti-abortion oppressors also oppose voting rights and any legislation that makes it easier to vote or makes elections more representative of how people voted (gerrymandering and electoral college reforms)

and still think Trump can abort the 2020 election. We're just being played over and over with concepts that are opposite to what sane people think and reality is, and it resurfaces in another context and is used against us. This is some type of subliminal reformation

I think the concern regarding the leak is its apparent purpose is to shame/vilify the justices and attempt to manipulate their vote on any given case. The repercussions are severe, no matter whose side of a particular case you find yourself.

The sanctity of the Court is (was) always highly esteemed. This has been lost. The leaker(s) should be found and prosecuted.

These shit-heels are not judges, they are frauds placed on the court to legislate an agenda that four-fifths of the population opposes.

Any pressure, I repeat any pressure brought to bear on these christo-fascists is legitimate and proper.

You are saying that ALL of the current justices are frauds?

Please provide factual support for your 4/5 agenda opposition. Not trying to be confrontational, I want to review the facts of your argument and not emotion.

"Sanctity" sounds more like a social construct and kind of arbitrary to me.

The sanctity of the Court is (was) always highly esteemed.


How was this achieved? Has this been maintained until the leak?

And we just spent four years watching a horrible president smash precedent and break norms because there were no law against it (mostly because nobody thought the president would ever be such a poltroon). Also, that administration did indeed break laws with impunity, knowing that the Department of Justice wouldn't prosecute them, but instead act as the president's personal law firm.

I don't remember anyone on the right wing uttering a peep about any of that. They're "outraged" now, are they? Boo fuckin' hoo.

I remember way back when, after the Iran-Contra scandal. They were more angry aboutt Ollie North for "betraying" his loyalty to Reagan than they were about the way Reagan broke the law to support RW terrorists in Central America that killed a convent of nuns.

The authoritarian roots run deep. One facet of that is valuing "personal loyalty" to the leader more than adhering to their actual oaths to the Constitution.
