This is the natural consequence of failing to riot and tear down the government in 2000.

    I remember some years later, Justice Breyer gave a lecture about it. His big thesis was that it was amazing the supreme court had such power, that they made a decision and everyone accepted it and went home. I get so mad thinking about it. Instead of upholding democracy, they chose to subvert it. We have deep institutional problems; it's not new. We're just so far beyond the pale.

    FWIW it was a 5-4 partisan vote. I know people here think Democrats are worse than Republicans, but they aren't. I'll never vote Republican. I campaign for the best candidates in Democrat primaries, and then I vote blue, like every rational person should.
