I may be crazy, but I can clearly distinguish between the folks who SAY they want small government but ACT as though women (and all too often non-whites) should be told how to act by… the government … and the ones who mostly don’t lie about that, and better yet don’t act like that.
I may be crazy, but I can easily distinguish between those only recently seem to have (at the moment) given up putting the government into the bedroom to enforce how people love each other… and those who don’t
I may be crazy, but I can easily distinguish between people whose idea of the right thing to do involves gaining personal power, personal wealth and further increasing the insane and obscene amount of money that very few people have… and the ones who consider that the right thing to do involves the welfare of EVERYBODY (Not talking about the personal wealth here).
And I may be crazy, but I can easily distinguish between those who are STILL lying about the recent election… and those who are not.
In fact, though, I’m convinced that I’m NOT crazy…
I believe that last 2 SCOTUS justices who went against the grain of the party of the President that nominated them were both Republicans; John Paul Stevens, nominated by Gerry Ford in 1975 ( a true champion IMHO as he was the most progressive voice in the court after Thurgood Marshall retired, hard to believe he was a Repubba but once upon a time the Party of Lincoln did have a liberal wing, sadly that is long gone) and David Souter who was nominated by Bush Sr in 1990 and was perceived to be a right of center jurist but turned out to be a usually reliable justice as far as siding with the liberal wing on most key and pertinent issues.
Stop bothsidesing the Court. The current makeup is three moderate to slightly liberal justices, one very staunch pro-corporate justice and five religious lunatics that put their bible above the constitution.

So unfortunate that reality has a liberal bias.
Mostly because Trump Disciples LIE about every issue.
Including the Trump Disciples on the Supreme Court.

Not bad, Theodore. As Braindead noted, truth has a liberal bias. I especially like the almost unnoticeable Coke can in Thomas’ hand.

As many others have observed before me, the truth tends to have a liberal bias.
