“The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy, and any Democrat who is not ready to shelve old fears about ‘court packing’ and get serious about expanding and reforming the Court isn’t made for this moment.” Correct.

You can thank Leonard Leo, the Federalist Society and, yes, Opus Dei. This has been a decades-long project. Trump is just the tip of the iceberg.

If Trump becomes President, I expect in next few terms they'll rubber stamp primogeniture, and our next king will be... Don Jr. Sorry, "Donald II."

Why are they called “conservatives?” There’s nothing conservative about promoting a lawless unitary executive. It more closely resembles the Putin, Kim, Lukashenko, Khameini, models, most resembles Mussolini’s. Calling them conservative is as wrong as calling forced birthers pro-life.
