I’d ask the proverbial Court’s indulgence to take a quick glance at this previous post … of mine:
I think the SCOTUS Ethics issue kind of falls under the general rubric that I laid out in that other thread.
Like nearly everything else the LW wants to talk about, it’s perfectly valid, important, and the facts are on our side.
But the other side is SCREAMING that Drag Queens are called ‘drag queens’ because they’re all dragging your kids back to their dens of iniquity.
And a million other Pure Bullshit Stories that – jointly and severally – represent an existential threat.
How do you win … how do you even make progress … when the other side has 400,000,000+ guns to your head and has – er – the vastly more credulous half the country believing you’re their mortal enemy?
A Doper mentioned a quote – something like, “In a divorce, the asshole usually wins.”
I am still at a profound loss to figure out how to beat an absolutely amoral, and essentially horrible, asshole opponent.
So I think of the SCOTUS ethical issues in that context.
