I dunno, there are too many activists on the left that want to weaken the Constitution any chance they get. I think the days of "fair and balanced" are over.

It's only over because you feel that way and think 'revenge' is necessary on the left

Let's say your first clause is accurate, why keep it going?

it's not revenge

The solution to 'activist judges' is not more 'activist judges'

Why join the fight to make things worse?

well, you might be right that the judges he's appointing are truly activist, I can't say

if you're right about that, then you're right about the next thing you said

ABA has 18 NQs on their last congress review

```The Week news magazine has named Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell the decade’s most consequential politician, over Barack Obama, the nation’s first African American president, and Donald Trump, the nation’s most problematic president ever. “McConnell was smashing norms and precedents in the Senate even before Trump arrived in Washington, D.C. In the case of Trump’s major accomplishments—cutting taxes and transforming the American judiciary—McConnell probably deserves the lion’s share of the credit,” writes Joel Mathis.```

Loading up our judicial branch with a bunch of often-unqualified party-first bootlickers is probably one of the worst things about Trump's presidency

that's for the guy who thinks McConnell isn't relevent

It's turtles all the way down, man...

McConnell is too important, I don't understand how a...person...like that, gets into such a powerful position

In many ways I think he's got more power than the president - especially if you consider how long his "term" is

Look at their previous gov and what he did on the way out, that's how lol

I'm too young to follow politics much further back than Clinton (at least in that detail)

Kentucky is a lost cause, and you can't tell them anything despite being one of those Federal tax-winners, etc

Maybe even Bush Jr

tbh

I mean the gov who just left, Bevin

pardoning those child rapists, etc

Oh I see

His path was a long one though

I remember Bush I pretty well, i was always kind of a wonk even very young, primariyl because of my interest in the military and spy shit

From rags to riches

<:haha:583236087137435659>

when did I say he wasn't relevant?

not you

Yeah the other guy

Up there

yeah, fuck that guy

Trump mirroring Bevin with the SEAL pardon as well

That one is ominous and for what gain, since the SEALs wanted him gone

The SEAL thing is another one of those things that Trump has done

That crumbles the whole 4D chess thing

Like...there's stuff that's just stupid and bad

Nobody benefits

Unless it's an explicit dogwhistle for future jackbooters

Idk I'm not paranoid enough yet
