Yeah, like a bad mold.
How people can live with themselves by pretending to be one thing in order to act out the ways of another is beyond me.

Souter’s “judicial restraint” was to prevent restoration of the Constitutional order which had been devastated by the Judicial activism of Progressive judges.
Souters actions were to preserve the Progressive revolution in the courts.

The Bushes gave us Thomas and Alito. Nobody’s perfect. Goldwater sponsored Sandra Day.
To: DIRTYSECRET
Is it too early for Thomas and Alito to call it quits or should they wait another year? 53 senators should be enough and Trump is riding high right now.

Make it count this time, Don! ?
Souter retired in 2009.
