This is the case - what we need - the guidance of our democratic republic is weakened, for all citizens, when narrow thinking ideologues are placed in the judiciary. The accurate and focused application of the principles stated in our Constitution is not served by limited minds and tight biases.
There seems to be some strange thinking in this thread - as if our legal decrees and government should be tailored to MY wants and biases - even at the same time I am complaining based on my perception that others, with whom do not agree, are getting things THEIR way - and where does that kind of thinking and behavior lead an organization? And, our government IS an organization, whether or not we may think so. Somewhere in all of this humanly fuss we seem to have buried the concept of principle.
Fair play is only possible(1) among white folks. All the other folks are playing for keeps. Time white folks did, too. And speaking as a recovering yankee, we lost our republic some time during the civil war.(1) White & white normative supremacy culture: Necessary but insufficient condition for things like fair play, rule of law, and other nice things.
Upon first reading , it appears that I may not agree with everything you stated here. As in the more broad Constitutional context set for our government, there is plenty of room for differing beliefs among citizens. It is important to understand those differences. Let me try - kindly answer. What is the factual basis for your opening statement regarding the "only possible" means for your term "fair play", and the difference between fair play and playing "for keeps"? What is your definition of "yankee" and what is a "recovering yankee"? At what specific point did we lose our republic?
