People care when their drinking water is contaminated with lead. They care if their medicines aren’t safe and effective, or if somebody takes all the money out of their investment accounts. Those things don’t make people happy. Yet it’s administrative agencies that are guarding against that and protecting their rights. So when the Supreme Court starts to dismantle important features of these agencies, it matters because it’s destabilizing a really important part of government

    same things your kids will tell your grandchildren who will then go on to tell your great grandchildren

    “Kept voting the same party in and the outcome was always the same because of that damn other party! and that same other party is making sure my party can’t do anything!”

    doing something over and over without changing any variables but expecting a different result than the one you keep getting is insanity not voting

      The Supreme Court had consistently been moving many issues to the left over many decades until very recently, so I don’t know what you’re talking about here at all. This is the direct result of the Republican Party, from Mitch McConnell refusing to even entertain the possibility of Obama filling Scalia’s seat to Trump appointing 3 justices. There’s a dose of Ginsburg’s narcissism in there too, she should have retired.
