He also said, "I will seek someone who understands that justice isn't
about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book." Abstract
Legal
Theory? Is he calling the Constitution Abstract? I'm wondering what he
thinks the Supreme Court does? Read footnotes in a case book?



He doesn't *care* what SCOTUS is supposed to do. He and his fellow
radicals are hellbent on retooling the country to get around the limits on
government
power imposed upon the Constitution. Step 1 - exploit every proximate
emergency
to create a greater and greater roll for the snoopy Feds. Step 2 -
Overplay, exaggerate, and outright invent "crises" as needed such as
Climate Change, Healthcare access, the current piggie flu (which, to be
fair, should be
affecting more Liberals than anyone), and so forth. Step 3 - Rewrite the
Constitution implicitly by appointing SCOTUS judges that will just make
it up as they go along.

Welcome to Soviet America...



Yep, exactly the reason that the founders established the limits on
government that were set in the Constitution. Now this bunch wants to
circumvent those limits and too many of the American people are willing to
go along with that.
