The Supreme Court can fuck this nation over for generations. They can ROLL BACK gains that have been made to this point, simply by hanging their views on a quirk of verbiage. They don't have to be right--they just have to have the votes.
I suppose if you don't have a stake in issues like reproductive rights, equality of opportunity and access to the law regardless of gender, orientation, ethnicity, race, laws against discrimination based on religion or lack of same, and you don't mind the fact that corporations have more rights than human beings, that whole Supreme Court silliness is just what? Nothing but a thing?
But there are people who do care about these things, and I'm one of them--so again, you can profess your point of view, freely and with all due earnestness, but it's not at all controlling and you haven't convinced me of the rightness of your argument in the slightest.
Who picks the Supremes can mess us up more--and for far longer-- than any Congressional election can.
