Inside the GOP's 'diabolical' scheme to delegitimize the American justice system

That the Senate Republicans didn’t bother fabricating a rationale to justify voting against her should reveal their fundamental dishonesty. They say qualifications matter. They don’t. Qualifications aren’t the point. The who is. Amy Coney Barrett? Unqualified, yet she’s one of us, so yes. Judge Jackson? Super qualified, yet she’s not one of us, so no.

For all their complaining about moral relativism among liberals and other people they don’t like, the GOP’s current worldview is nothing but morally relative. Organizing principles such as democracy are good as long as they serve their ends. They are bad as soon as they don’t.

Any filthy rich person can get away with most any crime they want.

So, it's not really a justice system anymore. It's more like a punish, the-remains-of-the-middle-class-and-torture-and-scam-the-poor, system.
