JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR is whatever remains as a conscience in #SCOTUS
@blogdiva but the Supreme Court isn't about conscience. It's about law.
As an appeals court the job of the SCOTUS is to rule on law, regardless of conscience.
Any justice putting conscience ahead of law is not playing their role in our democratic system.
SLAVERY @volkris was the law of the land. SCOTUS Justices aren't infallible ESPECIALLY THE CORRUPT ONES. how fucking DARE YOU come to my mentions with this ahistorical cryptofascist BULLSHIT; peddled by too many so-called objectivist fuckwads who just so happen to have an aversion to ETHICS and CIVICS and all the philosophies from which Jurisprudence in a truly democratic societies come from.
@blogdiva the Supreme Court didn't have the authority to make slavery the law of the land.
That's just not how the US system of government works, despite sensational stories that are sold based on such misunderstandings of basic civics.
Truly democratic societies rely on folks understanding the basics of how their governments function, which is why it's so crucial to correct these misunderstandings of how the different branches of government function in the system.
