Thursday was a less-than-stellar day for immature and venomous charlatans like MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid due to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Arizona’s election integrity laws, so it was only natural Reid and a cast of characters melted down over the ruling as a “racist” and “violent blow against democracy” that proved the centrality of “the Big Lie...to Republican…

NYT WHINES: SCOTUS Is Weaponizing 1st Amendment to Protect Religion!
April 7th, 2021 10:45 PM
The New York Times invariably hails liberal Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage, abortion, and opposing big money in politics. But when the nation’s highest court issues rulings on freedom of religion and free expression that are celebrated by conservatives, it’s a threatening pattern suddenly worthy of concerned scrutiny. Witness Supreme Court reporter Adam Liptak’s “Sidebar”…

What is this? Democracy dies in....silence? Thursday afternoon, CNN’s Wolf dedicated a segment with host Wolf Blitzer and Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic wondering why the current eight Supreme Court justices have remained silent and not opined on the three-decades-old sexual misconduct allegation against nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
