“We are increasingly being led by people who represent a minority of Americans. Not a good situation for a democracy to find itself in."

I’m afraid if not now, it won’t be long before the SC will represent more than a minority.

The more religious one becomes, the more radical they will be, and the more ignorant one is, the more they are subject to radicalization. The spirit of Trump has and is radicalizing this country. Before Trump came along, regardless of my views, I believed that the powers that be, had better minds than mine, and the basics of human nature were for the good. Trump came along and I’ve been schooled. I had no idea how many truly ignorant, radical people there are all around me. It’s very sad that now, I cannot become friends with anyone that supports Trump, or any spirit that is related to him.

Ironic, or something, how the most conservative Republicans happen to be the most anti-democracy actors around. They have moved so far to the right that they are meeting the extreme far left, the anarchists, as a governmental operating theory

The difference being, of course, that the far left has little popular support while the far right is controlling the Republican agenda as well as the Supreme Court.

I understand Alito's next paper might be on the fact that nowhere in the Constitution is there a right stated to not require women to wear burkas.. Women weren't mentioned in the Constitution at all, in fact, so why should they delude themselves into thinking they have any rights?
