Punk Rock Art Corner: Stick A Fork In This Supreme Court, Take II (So Much For Those GOP Defections)

 

<I'm H.P. Lovecraft, 
And I Approved This Message...
The Reckoner>


<"Dissents speak
to a future age.
It's not simply to say,
'My colleagues are wrong,
and I would do it this way,'
but the greatest dissents
do become court opinions.">

<Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
U.S. Supreme Court Justice,
1933-2020>

<"Box Score":
The Reckoner>




<"I have
and will continue
to support judicial nominees
who will protect
our Constitution,
not legislate
from the bench*,
and uphold the law."**>

<Senator Cory Gardner, R-CO,
rallies 'round the flag
once more this week...ugh>

<*Except when it's time 
to advance our goals...
because, well, we hate your uterus.>

<**Except those that 
don't favor our cause, 
like the Affordable Care Act, 
and mail-in voting, for instance.>


<"The American people
shouldn't be denied a voice.
Do we want a court
that interprets the law,
or do we want a court
that acts as an unelected
super legislature?
"*

<Senator Charles Grassley, R-IA,
justifying his opposition
to hearings 
for Obama-era 
Supreme Court nominee, 
Merrick Garland, 2016>

*Uh, basically, yes. 
If it's one of our own. 
Got anymore stupid questions?>



 <"If the nominee 
reaches the Senate floor, 
I intend to vote 
based upon their qualifications.">

<Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT),
viewed as one of the last
potential GOP defections,
citing his constitutional duty>

>"Mitt Romney has always been
who we thought he was
and always will be..."<

>"The big pro-life victory
comes on top
of a mountain
of American deaths.
But still worth it
for Romney et al.
Still worth it."<

>"lol at all the people
who thought Mitt Romney to be one of the good guys."<

>Second opinions
this week,
from Twitter<


<"You know that these important issues are not going to go away.
They are going to come back 
again and again. 
There’ll be 
another time, another day.">

<Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
on not getting majority votes>

<Remember In November!>

<Stop The GOP's 
State Capture Project!>
