Assorted shit

Samuel Alito, judicial activist

I love the wingnuts’ pathologically hypocritical accusation that judges who disagree with their oppressive, retrogressive, anti-democratic, anti-American views — and who actually stand for the American principle of liberty and justice for all – are “judicial activists.” Not the majority of the … Continue reading →

Urgent memo to Jerry Brown: Be a Scott Brown, not a Martha Coakley
