One in four judges is a trump appointee. And most of them are YOUNG. They will be on the bench until 2060. I’m not even kidding.
We’re screwed for a generation.
What progressive agenda can get through these conservative courts?
The next democrat needs to reform the judiciary.

I'm not so drastic as to be unable to watch, but I know people who can't really watch movies from before 2010 because the sexism REALLY WAS THAT BAD THAT RECENTLY.
