Justice Jackson has noticed that the 1st Amendment hamstrings the government.
You'd think that she'd have tripped over that notion someplace between enrolling in law school and being appointed to the Supreme Court.
It's a forgotten notion in many circles, including conservatives.
The Constitution was supposed to be an empowering document for the Federal government, and if it's not mentioned therein, it was forbidden.
The Bill of Rights was supposed to be further restrictions on the Federal government. Before anyone jumps the gun here, the 14th amendment was supposed to rein in the states and apply the Bill of Rights to them as well... fucking morons on SCOTUS is not a new thing as we can see in Slaughterhouse.
Power is addictive in a way that heroin can only dream of, so the idea of going around the restrictions really took hold hard.
We really need to be rolling back laws that were passed outside of living memory by the so-called greatest generation and heavily reinforced by the baby boomers.
They were voting in the scoundrels long before most of us were allowed anywhere near a voting booth.
Could be worse. The affirmative action hire could have been installed someplace she could do actual damage. You know, like at Boeing... As it stands her incompetence, impotence and corruption probably wont get anybody killed... Maybe. Besides, this way she's surrounded by others of her ilk. Easily ignored once you understand who signs their checks and how un-important any of the little things in America (Our rights and the restraints on our government) actually matter to the black-robed vermin.
