The one who may not have gotten his seat at all if it wasn’t for progress, blasts progress.

    “[Progressivism] holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government,” he said.

    Because it’s unequivocally true. Even if you believe your rights originate from God, unless or until God comes down and forms a state capable of enforcing those rights, they’re meaningless.

    “It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

    What a stupid thing to say. He’s the one advocating for subservience, that is subservience to the supposed God who is supposedly the originator of our supposed rights.

    That being said, I agree that we should not be subservient to the government. The government should be subservient to we, the people.

      This coming from one of the jerks who wrote the tenth amendment out of the constitution is the rankest hypocrisy ever.

      I wish I could kill God in front of these mother fuckers to show them that the old ways are dead. The only thing we know for certain is that we are here together and better work it out - anti-progressiveness is radically against the people and should be put down with extreme prejudice because it is so wholly toxic to all life on the planet.

      "[O]ur rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government,” he said.

      Hmm.

      Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

      Ephesians 6:5

      …and…

      Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.

      Colossians 3:22

      Is that the God you want to derive your rights from, Clarence?

    The asswipe fails to realize the progressives are the ones who allowed women and minorities to occupy a SCOTUS seat.

      And for those groups to intermingle. Virtually no aspect of his life would’ve been if it were up to conservatives.

    For the record, this statement would immediately get a judge dismissed in Canada. The fact that you guys allow a supreme court justice to act like this is absolutely insane.

      Apparently the (United States of) America is a threat for even Canada, Central America and South America.
      That is a way to say: I concur.
