This has been in the bag for fifty years and more.
The rightwing has been on the Judiciary like mold, quietly spreading itself and consuming and supplanting established theory and culture.
Their hand-picked-and-groomed jurists have been acting like the "Activist Judges" they've been flinging like a bloody shirt since the mists of time.
They seem to have put a guard on every door and Jinned-up an answer for every meaningful challenge to their blitzkrieg.
Where's the "Brain Trust"?
