Robert's Court = Bad News

For all of us who knew, even before their confirmation hearings, that Roberts and Alito were very bad news have been more than proven right. Kristy sums things up:

They lied. There is no other way to look at their testimony. Roberts and Alito are sitting on the Supreme Court, one of them as the Chief Justice — and they sat there during their confirmation testimony and lied about a commitment to stare decisis. They fucking lied. And we knew they were lying at the time, threading the Roe needle.

And the Democrats in the Senate could not muster the nerve to do what needed to be done to block their acsension to the Bench. And so here we are. I am just so angry at so many elected officials who could not be bothered to do their jobs – because they were simply too worried about keeping their jobs. For shame.
