gorsch just replaces scalia's vote, so it's a wash. but if john roberts' argument was that these states are better now and to keep treating them like they didn't improve is wrong then he has to change his mind when those same states went out and proved they haven't changed.

He would argue that those acts didn't constitute a pattern, and it is far too early to render an opinion.

You guys expect too much from conservatives.

true, but i don't look at it as expecting too much for them to be logically consistent. if that's a bridge too far then we're fukked.

Robert Mercer – the “Renaissance Technologies” co-chief executive who bankrolled Donald Trump’s presidential campaign – once said black Americans are “the only racist people remaining in the U.S.,” according to a lawsuit brought by former employee David Magerman.

Mercer who, alongside daughter Rebekah Mercer, fought to install chief White House strategist Steve Bannon and counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway in the Trump administration, allegedly made “a series of racist comments” in conversation with Magerman.

According to a complaint filed by the former “Renaissance” employee, Mercer allegedly told Magerman the US “began to go in the wrong direction after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in the 1960.” Mercer also told Magerman that black people “were doing just fine” before its passage and insisted they are the “only racist people remaining in the U.S.”

“Magerman was stunned by these comments and pushed back” against Mercer, the complaint reads.

Magerman is suing Mercer for wrongful termination after he was fired for criticizing Mercer’s support of the president.

I would love to hear his explanation for this statement
You want an explanation from a dude who believes the Clintons were murdering opponents in the 90s and that the Japanese got healthier after we dropped atomic bombs on them?
