Wonderful, just what we need.
Yeah I caught it...she felt the Court should concern itself with the desires of its people. How I translated it was that she wanted the Supreme court to be less “traditional and constitution minded” and more progressively activist minded!
If the marxists take over what “the people” want isn’t going to matter a bit. The majority of Obama supporters have few skills which will make them valuable under marxist rule, they would find their sorry butts out in a field pulling weeds so damned fast their heads would spin.
