And you say that like it’s a bad thing, Sessions. Turd.

Everyone fails the GOP purity test nowadays. They’ve appointed themselves in charge of determining who is a good enough American or a real enough American too.
Used to be just (!) liberals, gay people, women, black people, brown people, academics, hollywood, atheists, Iraq War objectors, agnostics, feminists, arugula-munchers, citydwellers, Democrats, evolution believers and dijon mustard fans who weren’t really American, according to them.

We’ve been recently told that lots of prior presidents weren’t good enough either— Wilson, Roosevelt(s), Lincoln, and I can’t even keep up.

So now we’re ex post facto excommunicating a justice of the SCOTUS and not just any one, but the person who ended segregation in the United States.

I thought they couldn’t shock me any more but I’m shocked. My god. It’s not even a dogwhistle any more, they’re screaming it.

I would like to ask these Senators to explain why they believe that Thurgood Marshall was an “activist judge.” Is it because of Brown v. Board of Education? That is the main reason why many considered him to be an “activist judge” and the reasoning behind that case makes it plainly obvious to the observer. Or is it because of this:

“the government they devised was defective from the start, requiring several amendments, a civil war, and major social transformations to attain the system of constitutional government and its respect for the freedoms and individual rights, we hold as fundamental today.”

Or this?

“Some may more quietly commemorate the suffering, struggle, and sacrifice that has triumphed over much of what was wrong with the original document, and observe the anniversary with hopes not realized and promises not fulfilled. I plan to celebrate the bicentennial of the Constitution as a living document, including the Bill of Rights and the other amendments protecting individual freedoms and human rights.”

Interesting isn’t it? That the very same people that refuse to acknowledge that Constitution is in fact a living document are the same people that want to trample on the 14th Amendment; The Establishment Clause; and add new amendments such as the marriage amendment or the parental right amendment. I guess seeing it as a living document is relative.
