The conservative supermajority has weaponized this harmful judicial philosophy as a way to embrace a racist, patriarchal narrowing of political rights.

This reads like a quote from one of the 'prosecutors' in the 1936 Soviet Show Trials.

They cannot defend Roe nor cite the constitutional authority....so it is fear mongering, accusations of racism, etc.

These people are empty

Enough, the people who believe this should either self-deport or self-abort. This is nonsense, insanity, sedition and simple begging for teeth extraction. I’ll have none of it.

How did slavery end? Not by court action but by ratification of constitutional amendment. These racist, patriarchal whites men gave us all the tools necessary to evolve our laws in the interest of liberty. It’s done through the representative government and constitutional amendment. Courts exist to interpret the law not make law. Leftists are all about “democracy” in politics until they must put up or shut up. They prefer judicial tyranny. They can’t avoid responsibility for policy or accountability to voters if they have to act rather than hide behind judicial fiats like the power and wealth corrupted cowards they are.

I’m just so upset the political class has to face the music instead of playing the endless blame game and kicking the can down the road. /s

Trump wanted action and results. Politicians want intractable problems they can run on forever.

The left says anything they don’t like is “white supremacy”. Anytime I hear the accusation about someone or some thing, I know its something good - otherwise the Leftists wouldn’t hate it.

Everything the media doesn’t like is white supremacy or some type of phobia. I don’t care. I’m voting against the media as often as I can and with glee.

Its very simple. The constitution means what the people who ratified it thought it meant.

It DOES NOT MATTER if you don’t like those people any more than it matters that they were White or that they were males. Its the same way with contracts. What do the words say? What did the parties agree to? You can’t just unilaterally change it to suit your whims.

If you want to change it, there is a mechanism for doing exactly that. You can make literally any change you want to it. Just follow the process that is required as per the Constitution itself.

What’s that? Its tough to do that? You can’t get enough people to support your lunatic ideas in order to get an amendment passed? Well as my Con Law prof taught us in the first year of law school, that falls under the “tough chit doctrine”. ie you do not get what you want.

They call Thomas a white supremacy anyway. Just like they called Larry Elder when he ran in the recall election against Gavin Newsom. These people are unable to see the racism in their own thinking. You’re correct in recognizing Thomas is different from the other “conservative” justices in philosophy.

I saw an ATL company executive’s Fourth of July message where he says Americans have it basically as good or better than anywhere else. How inspirational and aspirational can we get? Good grief.

The White suprematist boogeyman is an essential talking point for the Left as a mean to bully and control dissent. Trump speeches, policies and results were inclusive across demographics. He wanted every American to win because MAGA was not a zero sum game where for one group to win another had to lose. Everyone could enjoy prosperity. Trump cared about crime victims, cared about victims of racist policies put in place by Joe and others, cared about opioid addicts, Trump cared about safety and economic prosperity. Trump cared about working people, the sick and the elderly through competitive drug cost policies and transparency reforms.

Trump remains an existential threat to politics as usual which have failed us all for far too long.

Originalist judges express a belief that we should interpret the U.S. Constitution according to the legal opinions of 18th century white men.

Socialist idiots believe we should fashion the world after the writings of a lazy white man (Marx) whose philosophy has led to the death and/or suffering of 100s of millions already.

But if they did, they’d want to come back.

There’s one woke celebrity sitting in Russian jail begging and trying to shame the US through her privileged media connections to get her back to the land of the free and home of the brave.

It’s beyond boring, and timed to slander and libel this great country on the 4th of July.

“The White suprematist boogeyman is an essential talking point for the Left as a mean to bully and control dissent.”

It is also a tactic to sub-divide people into groups, pit them against each other, keeping them in their own narrow group characteristic and allow these minority communists to have power over all.

White supremacy is the cause of everything. One of my tires was a little low this morning and I had to fill it with air.

First black “woman” seated on SCOTUS?

Prove it... It doesn’t know what a woman is.

To paraphrase: Words have only the meaning I sat they have, and I reserve the right to change my opinion. I also reserve the right to demonize any dissent.

I thought of the same passage.

Baynard Woods is the author of "Inheritance: An Autobiography of Whiteness" and the co-author of "I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America’s Most Corrupt Police Squad."

Somebody's got their panties in a twist.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Scream accusations of racism (or racist attacks) at anything you don’t like or which slows your agenda.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Passionately attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: When all else fails, deploy violence.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Repeat.
