Court that forces policies supported by the minority on the majority -- McConnell says it should be

McConnell is indisputably a chief architect — if not the chief architect — of the conservative court that has shaken the nation over the past week with a string of rulings on abortion, guns and religion — a trifecta of searing cultural issues.

While much of the public recoiled at the decisions and the prospect of more to come in the years ahead, McConnell, a deep admirer of Justice Antonin Scalia, saw the culmination of a personal push to reshape the court in the image of the conservative judicial icon. McConnell said his goal had been “to move us back to where Scalia would have taken us to a textualist, originalist majority. And we have that for the first time in history.”

So only land-owning protestant white males should vote?

Scalia like McConnell is a revisionist lying sack of shit.

They also have to be able to read and write, have paid a poll tax, and be over the age of 21.

Just like the Voter Rights Actions in the 60s. Don't just play defense, go on the Offense. Sure the goons will attack just as they did then and there will be casualties, however, with the new social media now broadly available their brutal and inhumane actions can be shown millions of times while the whole world will be watching.
