      At that point we become the United States of California. I live in California. You don’t want the country to become California.

      The Pelosi party will celebrate just before they’re purged by the generation of AOC, and suddenly folks will realize the difference between Trump’s mobs and the Democrat Party’s mobs is latter is made up of the up and coming generation.

      I don't really disagree with you on that. I just don't think SCOTUS voting to overturn Roe is going to make a bit of difference to that.

      Just to be clear. It’s what constitutes being conservative. An 8-1 ruling on this reveals only 1 jurist is conservative properly understood. The other four on the “right” are different degrees of politically expedient.

      What that says is that there really isn’t a conservative jurispridentialism argument anymore. Regardless of credentials, jurists are pliable to institutional and social pressures that create a formidable leftward pull.

      That means there really is no institutional means to save the republic from arbitrary statism. The slippery slope will become more cliff like. What started in the university is coming to the country, city, neighborhood, and work place. The next decade will be 2020 on steroids.

      I think your error, Damon, is assuming that conservativism is about "conserving the present." Deeper than this, it's a fight for the founding principles. Sometimes it's a moderate "conserving" that's needed, sometimes it's a radical "recovering" that's needed.

          The problem, in my view, is that we have too many people, including on the Supreme Court, that are conservative by termperament, i.e., don't want to rock the boat. We need more people who are "conservative by principle," and ready to fight on a different ground entirely.
