The court turned away an appeal filed by Kim Davis, a former county clerk in Kentucky who was sued after refusing to issue a marriage license to a gay couple.
With the exception of Roberts though (who was on a steering committee but claims he was never a member) all of the conservative justices were members of the Federalist society.
On Friday at the annual conference for the Federalist society, the deputy AG gave a speech attacking the Bar association and declaring a war on judges for targeting conservatives with judicial activism.
Kavanaugh and Barrett also spoke about being under siege and standing strong with your conservative values in the face of withering criticism.
That is such a typical conservative cult “it’s us vs them” bullshit tactic to preemptively paint themselves as the victim even though they hold the upper hand in every possible way.
I would say not every conservative member of the Senate has the same set of values, but we’ve seen over and over again that they will go against their own values in order to further Trump’s agenda. It’s not always clear if it’s out of true loyalty or a sense of fear about what will happen to them if they get out of line.
Whatever it is, when they start pulling that us vs them bullshit, it’s hard to believe they won’t all revert back to trying to help overthrow the government.
Oh absolutely, but knowing their ideologies as human beings gives you the power to wedge their camps apart. Sorry I’d forgotten the name of the federalist society. It also helps to know how they’ll fall on issues.
Of the 6 right wing justices all are opposed to the enlightenment ideals that our nation was founded on, but how and why are important strategical information.
We on the left tend to see those we oppose as a monolith rather than a coalition that could splinter into our level of infighting if pushed in the wrong way. In a similar vein we are also capable of forming a unified coalition that actually affects change in accordance with our wills
I think they’re always on the verge of splintering, and we’ve seen that happen several times already between Epstein and the Heritage Foundation supporting Tucker Carlson.
But I think people like Peter Thiel are also constantly controlling and manipulating people within both the democratic and Republican parties on order to keep themselves afloat.
They can and do throw endless amounts of money at anyone they need to help them gain control in just about any situation, but they also strongly rely on that cult/“family” strategy to keep their base reigned in. We’re a united “family,” but the family has to accept that any member can be thrown under the bus by the paternal figures in control. For the good of the family, of course.
