They got their way with the SCOTUS and now they are stacking the courts with rightwingers at a rapid pace.

Neither gives confidence of proper decisions untainted by their own personal biases. This is not what one should expect for fair judicial decisions in this country from our judiciary.

They also want to sell off the country's physical assets (National Parks, government buildings, etc.) to the highest bidder. Just like they've been trying to do for decades. This is their last shot at it. May they shoot themselves, instead.
