It is not about aptitude.
The issue is that from the bottom up everyone on your side is full of shit.
Shit is shit no matter how cleverly argued or sincerely held.
Yes, shit is shit. The conservative movements are anti-intellectual, because they so utterly reject critical thinking and facts that are not favorable to their medieval roots. The part of the article about Joseph de Maistre was spot on. No political ideology has so completely failed to incorporate empirical input as conservatism. That is why every attempt at a chat about actual ideas and concepts here ends with deflection, distraction, cries of SCOREBOARD, and gleeful attacks on liberals with a puerile focus on optics and/or age.
LOL!
The recent liberal dissents at Scotus were embarrassingly sophmoric and missing substance,
See Justice Sotomayor and her reference to the Pulse Nightclub.
One wonders what planet this so called wise Latina is on.
As for Justice Jackson she is apparently clueless to the feelings of Americans who in every polling demogroahic want Affirmative Action to just go away. It is especially revalent to Justice Jackson who is on the court , as Winsome Sears pointed out, ONLY because she is Black and a woman.
If anything you would hope she would have heeded the wisdom of Clarence Thomas who often laments that AA is a double edged sword in that those helped by it face criticism they did not make it on merit.
One hopes Justice Jackson has more to give than that word salad of a dissent.
