You should try getting out of your fear bubble. Gay marriage is not going anywhere. Abortions are not going anywhere even if Roe V Wade is overturned. And the ACA wasn't done constitutionally to begin with if you're so concerned about democratic norms.********. I have Mitch McConnell and his lack of concern about democratic norms to thank for the nightmare that has become our government and the USSCt.. I also blame the Americans who did not do everything that they could to complain about how this process was going and insist that our government work the way it was designed to. So I blame you. Am I an angry liberal, yes and no. I am actually not as liberal as you would like to paint me but I am very angry. The Republican assault on the environment, on women's reproductive rights, on gay marriage is on and it disgusts me, as an American, that the minority has such outsized power.
And, again, you take this stuff out of context. The Dems had to do away with the filibuster for judges because the republicans absolutely refused to seat any of the judges in the circuits and large numbers of empty chairs was actually a huge problem.
To the judges, I am old enough to remember a lot of people's favorite president say, "elections have consequences". Do you agree with that?
