say that not one person in a position of authority has stopped cheato's delegitimization of the courts and undermining of the rule of law. He is a true conservative hero. Do they feel nothing when he says, as he did just now on MSNBC, that a mob boss could never do the damage to our system of justice that cheato is doing?
Judge Luttig is saying that cheato's continual threats against judges may end our democracy. Do they care at all?

I don't see one judge who seems to give a damn about equal justice under the law, or democracy.
It has been a real eye opener.

(55,825 posts)So some of the justices take their orders from the oligarchs who bribe them.
Other justices are political hacks who legislate from the bench.
Laws which cannot get passed because voters would not approve, the SC can shove down our throats.
These are justices who agree that citizens should have as many military assault weapons as they want and regularly murder Americans at school, work or play. And SC justices who want women going back to the dark ages.
I don't know why they are also so afraid of Trump.
It is a mystery. Cowards.
