You have to wonder what choices WW2 veterans and their families would have made if, upon returning Stateside, they learned their children and grandchildren would become the same fascists and Nazis they just finished fighting and losing years, innocence, friends and family to.
I think since they were placed there by roughly bending the institutional norms that should have a balanced court sitting there, they can be removed by bending those same norms. I don't respect the way McConnell manipulated the schedule to pack the court. We shouldn't have to respect it.
I don't feel desperate, I feel betrayed.
Pretty sure fellow vets feel the same, especially those of us with "fight for democracy" as the reason we were sent to war to begin with. Knowing my friends and fellow troops died for this anti-American BS pisses me off.
"authoritarianism we spent much of the 20th century... combatting overseas", just uh, don't ask about what we've been up to in South & Central America and the Caribbean...
