      Conservatives don’t want democracy. They want hierarchy.

      The US didn’t even do it. Their voting system just incorporates some aspects of democracy in bits of it.

      There’s the electoral college, representatives voting, financial influence, no voting in Puerto Rico or Guam… Very little of it has ever incorporated the keystone of democracy; the people have a voice and say on things.

      The fact that judges can have publicly stated loyalty to a specific political party or politician shows just how corrupt the American legal system has become.

    Not every Trump-appointed judge has to be forced to retire when the USA reforms their system to protect against fascism, but the 5th Federal Circuit of Appeals and especially this guy has to be out of there ASAP.

    I wonder if they realize that their own supporters skew older and are therefore more likely to be homebound than their opposition’s? Would be funny if their stupidity hurt them disproportionately.
