This puts abortion back on the table as an election issue, and may drive many women otherwise possessed of sanity towards the creepy senile pedo and the California crook.
You know, the four honest Justices back in the days of FDR were called the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. Then, as now, the pretext of an emergency was used to push through what was clinically Fascist legislation. Fascism, then, did not carry the pejorative weight it does now, and the first Administrator of the New Deal (a term, by the way, coined by a Communist, Stuart Chase) used to pass out pamphlets extolling Mussolini’s Fascist system, which–then as now–was viewed as vastly more efficient that the cumbersome and unresponsive machinery of representative democracy and Constitutional checks and balances.
That those “Four Horsemen” saved our Republic cannot be doubted. Bills were passed which would have allowed the Federal government nearly unlimited controls of our economic life, and only failed to be implemented when they were blocked by those four, as I see it, noble and principled individuals.
As is nearly always the case, though, the left wing contingent of the Supreme Court DOES warrant the appellation. They ARE working towards the destruction of the limits placed by our Founders on the actions of our government. They can and will destroy the meaning and spirit of the law, ironically enough as the ultimate keepers of the law, which is the role our system has entrusted to them.
I can’t and won’t mourn the death of RBG. Call me callous or rotten, but she is one of the people who allowed the on-going vitiation of everything good in our system. No: she pushed it and encouraged it.
And count me among those who continue to believe Justice Scalia was murdered in his sleep, and the crime covered up.
I really don’t think most fat and complacent Americans, with their hot tubs and Hot Pockets, and Game of Thrones really get how much danger we are living in. Evil is not out there: it is walking our streets, and preaching compassion and justice.
