They're basically making public policy from the bench, but unlike Congress which has public debates and committee hearings they're just doing it in secret. It makes a complete mockery of the GOP claim that their side doesn't believe in or practice judicial activism - of course they do, and this only proves it. It's also precisely what many people feared with this right-wing supermajority - they would overturn decades of liberal policies and rulings that protect the environment, and gut the ability of government agencies (like the EPA) to do their jobs. The court gutted the powers of the Federal Elections Commission to regulate campaign funding in Citizens United, it now appears that they're out to finish the job with other government agencies they hate. And with the shadow docket they can do it on the sly, in the shadows, with no hearings, no debates, and no accountability.

Literally the only thing most Trumpites care about it is: does it make liberals mad? If it does they're all for it, even if the rivers, lakes, and creeks near them turn into sewers from companies dumping their waste into them - much like they did before the Clean Water Act was passed.

I would have said lower taxes but they didn’t blink with his China tariffs passed on to US consumers.

If Junebug and JH didn't run away like the little coward bitches they are, they'd be here defending this insane activism.
 
They will be back in November to lecture everyone on lessons the Democratic party needs to learn, blah blah.

They really are the worst posters. Just incapable of engaging in honest debate.

If anyone is looking for an argument with JH, just go back reread and respond to his old posts because all he does when he posts is rehash and repost the same shit over and over.

Of course the downside to rehashing and reposting the same shit is the rest of us get practice arguing against it.

That's what I've been thinking - all of the conservative posters who basically vanished from the board when Russia invaded Ukraine will no doubt return if (when) the GOP does well in November and will tell us all ad nauseam about how out of touch we all are and how we just don't understand red-state Americans and the Democrats need to move right so they can win elections, etc.
 
An unqualified rating by the ABA is a requirement for the Republican party.
