The more I hear about Buttigieg, the less I like him, and I didn't think he was that great, to begin with.

NOW. Doing good.

Our electorate can't undo the past, but 2020's just 375 days away now. The next justices will be appointed by the next president.

The primaries, when we get to match our actions to our goals of electing Democrats and ejecting Republicans from office, begin in only 101 days. Coming up fast!

At one time, Stevens was considered to be in the middle of the ideology makeup of the court. When he retired he was considered one of the most liberal members.

My SC heroes are Justices Douglas and Blackmun.

Maybe he's saying he wants people that can be nominated by republicans, like kennedy and souter, but won't vote with the republicans all the time like kennedy, or ever, like souter.

No, it can't be that obvious and reasonable thing. It MUST be Buttigieg is saying he wants to nominate evil, morally impure centrists to oppress the common man.
