The right-wing Republicans have turned the Supreme Court into the Taliban.
Republicans couldn’t win the presidency at the polls, so the Republican majority on the Supreme Court is doing the job for them, micro-managing the presidency to suit the whims of the GOP and its corporate donors. And they’re far from done.
Many women are upset about the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe vs Wade. Yet they have consistently voted for the radical right. They voted for the former guy and helped ensure an ultra conservative court. When McConnell stole the Supreme Court appointment from Obama, they still voted Republican. I think a chicken should not vote blindly for the Colonel and then act surprised when they end up in the deep fryer. Elections have consequences and now we are sadly stuck with this Supreme Court for a long time due to the choices they have made.
The term “witness intimidation” isn’t in Donald Trump’s vocabulary. Ego, revenge, spite, lust for power dictate in his mind that he can bully and intimidate anyone he wants and the law is irrelevant.

Dave Crane, the GOP nominee for Lake County Sheriff, has no business holding the office and frankly shouldn’t even be wearing a badge. He’s a Trump acolyte and a proudly, dangerously ignorant person. As bad as Martinez is, Crane is objectively worse.
Across the country cities are having a difficult time finding enough lifeguards to man the pools and beaches. There were times when trained or willing to be trained individuals were eager to apply for the positions. Times have changed. The lack of interest has little if anything to do with less interest in the job or even the pay. The problem centers around what I call a changing culture. We are told that potential workers are just plain fed up with our changing attitudes, lack of discipline, lack of respect and personal safety issues. Guards can no longer just focus on water safety. They must also serve as babysitters, counselors, disciplinarians, mediators and last but not least surrogate parents. Lifeguards love the water. They hate the changing culture!
What if every woman that was confronted about having an abortion was to fire back with the phrase “I’ll be more than glad to continue with this pregnancy if you sign these papers agreeing to adopt and raise the child once it is born”? What kind of reply would she get?
I’m not defending Hilary Clinton, but she testified and was grilled for 11 hours at the Benghazi hearings. She handled the GOP’s questions with aplomb and without the patina of partisanship that had characterized the committee. How much time has Trump spent in front of his accusers?
This country wasn’t founded on Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu values. Don’t ever forget that. Come here from other countries with other religions and accept that Christianity founded this country.
The Supreme Court is simply following the lead of the politicians. They couldn’t care less about what people want. Once they get into their positions it is all about implementing what they want not what we want. They are ruling us and not represent us.
