17. What this compromise says to me...
as it uses the term "extreme circumstances," but leaves it undefined, is that two "jurists" (I'm being charitable by using that word too, because these judges do not fit my conception of a jurist as they apparently have no problem infusing their political views with their decision making process) who have proven themselves handmaidens and enablers of corporate/oligarchic anarchy, and a crypto-Dominionist, are not "extreme." Or at least that's what it implies to me. I'll admit that I haven't been following all the nuances and twists and turns in this story, but from the articles and posts I've read this morning, that's my impression. However, it leaves me wondering what these senators would define as "extreme circumstances," when the line has just been shifted to the right of these three.
