Was thinking the other day about WHY progressives want judges vs WHY right wingers want judges.
Right wingers want judges so fucking badly that they are willing to put up with someone like Trump just to get them.WAY more than liberals think about judges, but WHY?????
Conservatives pretty much have all the rights they want, right? What social struggles are upper class white people going through that they might need such heavy representation in the courts?
Progressives are always seeming to have to fight for black rights and gay rights and womens rights and poor peoples rights.
The reason liberals want judges is to get the courts to grant the same rights to those groups that white conservatives have. Thats it. Equality.
If right wingers already have that stuff why do they need judges?
The only reason i can think of is to deny those groups the same rights as conservatives have.
So id like to see reporters start asking Mcconell that question. Are you looking to expand the rights of white people like progressives want to do for everyone else? Thats why you want so many judges?
Or do you need so many judges in order to deny those groups equal rights for generations to come, to block those people and their kids and their kids?
Since you and most republicans are about 80 years old and halfway dead, this is the way to keep your evil legacy going long after you are worm food?
