How the revolution is procured is all that matters to the left. If the courts procure it, power to the courts; if the administrative procures it, power to the administrative; if it takes massacres, then massacre. The issue is always the revolution.

They fear “gay people barred from restaurants”.
As well they should. If I recall it was “Gay employees” who voted that Sanders should be kicked out of a restaurant.

Substituting will for judgment would make the case for utterly dissolving the judicial branch.

The Judiciary is the weak link in our constitutional system. Amendments should be passed reining it in. SCOTUS should stick to deciding the constitutionality of cases before it; nothing else.

Courts need to get out of ordering remedies they have no business forcing on the people. They usurp the Legislatures when they do so. Legislatures (Congress) should hit back!

When Ginsberg leaves, one way or another, that will make a difference.

Kennedy was a reliable 2A supporter. I don’t want that changed.

There have been “conservative” courts over the decades yet abortion is still legal.

The other predictions are simply absurd. I thought Toobin
Was smarter than that.

“Courts need to get out of ordering remedies they have no business forcing on the people. They usurp the Legislatures when they do so.”

Great point and bears repeating. Recent history with district judges issuing orders across the entire country must not only be reined in BUT those doing it should be removed from the bench. District rulings used to only be binding in that appellate circuit but lately we have had a spate of rulings from the kingdom of Hawaii that have been so far removed from reality to as well as have been from the moon.

I guess Toobin has forgotten it was conservative courts that have given people, including blacks, the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution.

According to Jeffrey Toobin of CNN, the remade Supreme Court will spell doom: "Abortion illegal, doctors prosecuted, gay people barred from restaurants, hotels, stores; African-Americans out of elite schools, gun control banned in 50 states, the end of regulatory state."

Toobin forgot to mention that Progressives will be clubbed like baby Harp seals...

The leftist agenda is not supported by the majority; they need the courts to impose unpopular ideas.

“”gay people barred from restaurants””

In the dem’s world, only conservatives/Republicans would be barred from restaurants or barred from FREE SPEECH!

And this is where corruption comes in. Congress only cares about feathering their nest. Which means all they care about is staying in office. Which means they are risk averse. They dont want to rock the boat.

They abdicate much of their authority because it would mean rocking the boat if they exercised. And they are too busy feathering their nest.

So we end up with a namby pamby Congress afraid of its own shadow.

The LEFT fears Roe v Wade being overturned because it is grossly unconstitutional and they know it.

Don’t tell me President Trump should choose and nominate a supreme court justice for replacement of Kennedy, but that is not the only one that is important, we don’t need one that is wishy washy. We need one for our site, and Kennedy surely wasn’t

That would restoring the Constitution.

“shall not be infringed” means just that.
