“The thing with Sam Alito is that he doesn’t give a fuck. He is a seventy-something Fox News watcher and religious fundamentalist who happens to find himself in a position of immense and almost incomparable power over all of American society and he’s going to take that power to the limit to advance his own political preferences. He’s not even going to go through the motions of pretending that’s not the case.”
Josh Marshall understands Alito all too well. Gift link:
It's Clear to me that lifetime appointments to Supreme Court is the third biggest flaw in the US Constitution.
Biggest being slavery was initially allowed, second biggest flaw being the electoral college.
@SocialJusticeHeals @JamesGleick Senate is worse than the Electoral College, imo
EC only devalues my presidential vote. Senate devalues my political representation
California has ~40 million people by itself and only 2 senators
21 states have ~40 million people total and get 42 senators
That is obscene
