Threats to the Judiciary
Here's what I don't get:
The federal courts are weighted Republican. Since Reagan, they've been shoehorning 'em in. I don't know the stats, I just know the law-school gossip, okay? Knee deep in Republicans.
So. What, did they manage to pick the wrong people? Is that why some fundamentalist yahoo feels the need to threaten a Supreme Court Justice*? To quote Stalin and say "no man, no problem"? (The full quote is, "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem".)
Yeah, because Stalin is the kind of pro-democracy, freedom-liberty-and-apple-pie kind of thinker all patriotic Americans should look to. Not.
[*] In fact, the Supreme Court Justice who talked to my class just yesterday.
