The court won’t start solving and helping repair the damage done to this country during the conservative government until Thomas or Scalia, or both, are no longer Judges.

Wait, this doesn’t have anything to do with an old white guy who owns a basketball team saying racist stuff.
Why is it on TPM today?

Don’t worry, this is still all about Donald Sterling:
“In no other advanced country do leading figures of governing parties propose the denial of medical care to their citizens or take their ideological inspiration from crackpots like Ayn Rand. America’s unique brand of ideological anti-statism is historically inseparable (as I recently argued) from the legacy of slavery. Whatever form America’s polyglot majority ultimately takes, it is hard to see the basis for its attraction to an ideology sociologically rooted in white supremacy.” - Jonathan Chait
“When the last American to have lived through the New Deal dies, I doubt any significant constituency will still dispute its legitimacy, nor do I think there’s a future for the notion that it’s illegitimate for the federal government to test prescription drugs or enact environmental rules. The aspect of anti-statism most inextricably tied to white supremacy—the notion that it’s inappropriate for the federal government to pass and enforce laws that protect the civil rights—is thankfully going to die as well.” - Conor Friedersdorf
Some of us prefer to call him Sockpuppet
Yes it’s a pretty superficial article.
I don’t understand why comments on this post are somewhere called the Hive instead of being right there, or why they are repeating right now in a larger typeface to the right, or why when I tried to comment right in the original comment box without going to this discussion page it only let me write one line, or why you can’t ever see any comments until you sign in any more, or where my avatar went.
It’s the Obamacare (original version) website of comment systems. Something was simple and worked fine, and now it’s a mess. Also I tried to send a message directly to TPM and no matter what I tried it didn’t work.
Unfortunately we have Roberts and Alito for another couple of decades.
