Since scalito and company, and all who agree with him, want to take us back

to the 17th century (or even earlier), because they seem to long for the good old days (cuing Randy Rainbow's song here), I want to ask if that means turning back all progress. Are they willing to give up all modern conveniences? Energy? Trains, planes and automobiles? Computers? Manufacturing? Indoor plumbing? Modern medicine? Food production?

One wonders exactly how they see society working if their woman-hating wet dreams are enacted in a supposedly "modern" society.

(I apologize if rambling. Not enough caffeine yet. Woke with the word "gilead" screaming in my brain.)

I doubt any lawyer will risk his license by suing for the Wayback Machine, so it's good I'm not a lawyer.
