According to this New York Times story, progressives are energized by the recent Supreme Court term. They now realize (supposedly) that it’s important to have a progressive president. Have they been sleeping? Are they stupid? Conservatives have long known that unless there are law-abiding justices on the Supreme Court, all is lost. Progressives want lawless justices—justices who will read their own values into the Constitution and aggrandize the federal government at the expense of the states and the people. Did you catch the reporter’s euphemism about race? She wrote that the Supreme Court limited school districts’ ability to use “racially conscious criteria to achieve or maintain integration.” In other words, the Court limited school districts’ ability to use race as a criterion. To progressives, that’s a bad thing.
