They hollered about "activist judges" while planning to install activist judges.

2. Just a few days ago I was thinking about that phrase "activist judges"...

😳😧🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😭

3. EVERY accusation IS a confession. Truly.

[TheRealNorth]

9. Exactly

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. I think we need to start hammering them with it

It worked for them for 40 years, it's worth a try.

11. Shame the shameless?

I don't think that's a working strategy, but we definitely need to use that phrase when discussing the shameless 6.

4. Fox News is in charge now, and they're gonna steer us toward fascism whether we want it or not.

They must be stopped at all costs!

[Skittles]

6. can someone tell me which repuke senators he is referring to?

would like to see those tweets

[TheRickles]

26. WTF Lindsey? "Democrats want to blow up the Senate"?

You claiming we were at the Capitol Jan 6th?

[OMGWTF]

29. I think the Senate should be blown up.

When 21 states have fewer people than California you end up with 42 (mostly Rethuglican) senators vs. two in CA. That's minority mob rule.

7. Just goes to show, every republican accusation is in fact a confession.

They hollered about "activist judges" while planning to install activist judges.

It never fails.

[Harker]

8. They squawked about "death panels", too.

Great.

18. Of course that's what they hollered. With Republicans, every accusation is an admission. n/t

[orleans]

19. "They hollered about "activist judges" while planning to install activist judges. "

of course they did.
it's the old: "i am rubber you are glue" crap

lying sacks of shit. all of them

[ZonkerHarris]

20. We need to hold the GOP who selected them accountable Judges equal Senators/Reps

[Lokee11]

21. All The F'n Time - Without Fail!!!

22. So the only solution is that the people they screwed over

Which is MOST of the country is to vote their Republican asses out.
And they have so much hubris now they are all saying the quiet parts out loud and think no one is listening.

[live love laugh]

23. Everything they say is opposite.

[onetexan]

24. Yup it was all smoke & mirrors to get their agenda enacted

[Martin Eden]

25. So much for the principle of letting legislatures decide

... this Court's supposed rationale for overturning Roe.

[gulliver]

27. Right, because they're being foolish, just like we were

We were depending on the Supreme Court to hold the line on reproductive freedom for women. Now it's in the hands of voters. There's now no excuse whatsoever not to be a voter.

[Martin68]

28. I agree. In fact, that's been quite obvious for some time now. Conservatives always accuse liberals

of misdeeds they are planning to do (or already doing) as a deterrent and as a distractor.
