Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

If you start with the idea that originalist justices will usually side with the rich white men of a certain religious sect then you get the same result. This whole originalist scam is intended to take us back to the 17th century hierarchy.

Correct. Also: @whitehouse.senate.gov just voted to confirm Trump nominee Sheria Akins Clarke as a judge for the District of South Carolina to help the GOP yesterday. bsky.app/profile/atru...

🖕Sheldon Whitehouse🖕 7 Senate Dems Vote to Confirm Judicial Nominee.. ..Who Refused To Say tЯ☭mp Lost 2020 Election Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) Dick Durbin (IL) John Fetterman (PA) Ruben Gallego (AZ) Maggie Hassan (NH) Martin Heinrich (NM) Jack Reed (RI) Jeanne Shaheen (NH)

If you look at Senator Whitehouse's record, he constantly bloviates about the corruption of the Supreme Court, yet while serving in the majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he did absolutely jack shit to change any of it. Primary establishment enablers, soundbites are not good enough!

He votes with the MAGA republican majority. He is a ranking member of the minority which should carry weight. My question is: what is Whitehouse getting for voting for election denier judges?

They serve domination hierarchy. Extractivism. Profiteering. Patriarchy. While the gun of the #ClimateEmergency is pointed at our intuition, they're stoking fears, trying to force America to join team "higher power" because if prayer's not the answer, then Daddy church lied to them. About a LOT.

I LOVED this country ... but now I need to get the fuck out of here ... experiencing our government overthrown by racist murderous and lying thieves ... what's worth it anymore????!!!!!!!!! how much crazy can we endure??? We either mob up and start killin mofos or ... just fucking leave

Sometimes I look at the disparity between what Democratic senators like Whitehouse who show us they get it and know we get it and at others I strongly suspect also get still timidly regurgitating platitudinous 90's bipartisan pieties and wonder what the hell their pollsters are telling them.

What’s amazing about all of this is that these idiots - most of whom have grandkids - are destroying the world they will live in. But see, many of them are also the kind of Christian’s who believe the end times are coming. So who cares if we burn it all down. Fuckers.

Excuse me: Weren't you just one in a handful of Democrats who confirmed a judge, Sharia Atkins Clarke, to a lifetime South Carolina appointment after she refused to admit Biden won in 2020? Your constituents deserve a damned good explanation of that in order for you to retain any credibility.
