    The Supreme Court is in need of a deep clean. Unfortunately that’s just not possible in today’s political environment. Worst of all, they know it and have zero fear of repercussions so they just keep doing what they want.

    Sounds familiar. I don’t know how you do a major shake up on any of the foundational pillars of government right now. People figured out that working on the honour system meant they could do whatever they wanted.

      Hey someone should do something about that…

      While I think the GOP is becoming a hateful/fearful “persecute and hate those that don’t conform” party , the democrats just don’t do anything to make meaningful steps in the other direction. We get two failed parties, failing for different reasons.

        Imagine that they’re not failing , but working perfectly. Imagine what that means.
