The Republican Supreme Court Gave Us The Police State Paul Craig Roberts When the US Supreme Court consisted of civil libertarians such as William Douglas, William Brennan, and Thurgood Marshall, Republicans argued that the Supreme Court was coddling criminals and inventing rights. To prevent legislation from the bench, it was necessary, Republicans said, to elect Republican presidents who would appoint a different court that would respect the Constitution. Law and Order Conservatives were particularly upset by the Miranda decision. These conservatives were too naive to realize that often police are more interested in “solving” a case than they are in justice. Coerced self-incrimination was an easy way for police to “solve” a crime. Miranda and other rulings reduced the ability of police and prosecutors to “solve” crimes at the expense of the rights of suspects. What the “liberal court” did was to hold accountable the cases brought by police and prosecutors. The liberals’ mistake was they failed to hold the police personally accountable for their misdeeds. The Republicans did give America a different Supreme Court and also different district and appeal courts. Rulings by Republican judges have stripped the Bill of Rights out of the Constitution and made police unaccountable for murder and robbery. In effect, the Republican jurists have turned the police into a criminal organization that is above the law.

It also gave us Roe and Kelo, and gay marriage. Republicans are worse than useless. They're malignant
Mostly democrats voted for gay marriage you liar. I do remember you are pro abortion. Yes you were ready to vote for Hillary cunt. I see your Catholic cult is embracing the faggot movement all over earth.
The problem with your bullshit yella agitate propaganda... is America is not a "police state". It would only be looked at as such, by anarchist, kooks and mentally ill folk. More pro drug indoctrination of the LF sheeple. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The Supreme Court has been controlled by Republicans since 1969. If Republicans don't keep discipline and Democrats do, that is the fault of the Republicans, not the Democrats. You don't like Republicans to be held accountable for their bad acts. You like to use insults a lot - mais le chien aboie, la caravane passe.
Look sack of shit. How many rs and how many d's voted for it. Are all Catholics liars too. No democrats voted against it. So quit lying you fucking idiot piece of shit.
Another fucking lie from the spinnig Catholic who worships the pope who is pro faggot. Fuck you asshole.
So sayeth a former cop. The Supreme Court has been controlled by Republicans since 1969. If Republicans don't keep discipline and Democrats do, that is the fault of the Republicans, not the Democrats. How many catholics on the supreme court voted for faggot marriage. Which I suppose you are ok with since you were going to vote for hillary.
