There once was a time in this country when Republicans berated progressives\/liberals for favoring what they referred to derisively\u00a0 as “judicial activism.”<\/p>\n

The GOP hated the notion of the courts rewriting laws, or “legislating from the bench.” Well, what in the name of juris prudence have we seen now in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court dismissal of a lawsuit brought to it by the Texas attorney general? We’re seeing and hearing Republicans blasting the court for, um, following the Constitution.<\/p>\n

What the hell?<\/p>\n

Texas AG Ken Paxton wanted the SCOTUS to order millions of votes cast in states that supported Joe Biden’s election as president tossed out. He was joined by 16 GOP state attorneys general; then we had more than 120 GOP members of Congress sign on to Paxton’s lunacy. They all wanted the high court to — yep, that’s right — take a judicially activist stance<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Up is now down. Right is wrong. Left is right and vice versa. Nothing makes sense. Not a damn thing!<\/em><\/p>\n

This madness is being orchestrated by Donald Trump, the so-called Republican president who is masterminding this revolt against the democratic process. He lost an election and won’t accept the will of the American voters.<\/p>\n

Traditional Republican politicians, if there are any of them left in public office, should be aghast, appalled and astounded at what has become of traditional Republican policy.<\/p>\n\n
