...the reason Republicans are allowing themselves to be cowed by Trump is because in exchange for power he does all their skut work to remove all the amendments to the USA Constitution including the 1st one.
The country would have to call for a constitutional convention to rewrite the Constitution. Coney-Barrett subscribes to that ideology at any cost.
The USA has been a successful democracy because of strong ethical standards but that has been eroded over years. Along comes a judicial philosophy by this nominee that attacks the majority rule of the US Constitution, not just the court, but, the vote.
The Chief Justice has been protecting the majority law within the US Constitution regardless of the extremists. Her attack on him was vicious and reprimanding to reduce his allegiance to the majority. He doesn’t subscribe to the counter-majority philosophy. Burger’s use of it elevated the individual without destroying the majority rule.
Within her philosophy the USA Legislature is diminished in its power. Basically, it is an anti-constitutional philosophy.
There is nothing wrong with exploring thought as an academic, it is the implementation that is grossly inappropriate. But, the politics of the extreme right uses it for leverage and is serious about their hate of “the other.” With Trump this philosophy is a runaway train that will destroy the USA. He is the friend of strongmen and communists.
There is a reason for advice and consent, but, the current Republicans are to scared not to allow a radical judge on the court.
This judicial nominee is a lot more than Roe v. Wade. There are too many Federalist Society members on the court.
