The Federalist Society, the Federal bench, and the Republican Party --

That's a poisonous concoction guaranteed to be hazardous to the health of the republic. "Conservative" is nothing but a mask they wear while pushing their toxin to the desperately ignorant. To be sure, there is nothing remotely identifiable as altruistic in anything they are working to "conserve". Our ballots can be either prophylactic or antidote. We have to GOTV like never before.

And then I saw the behaviour of conservative judges...and finally understood the what the whole psychological projection thing was about.

The conservatives didn't want anyone else opposing their activist judges.
