We always thought that the Supreme Court was sacrosanct, but now it's everywhere. "Everything that TFG touches dies."

Of course, Reagan helped it along, starting his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi where those three Civil Rights workers were murdered in 1964. But TFG finished the job and buried it for good.
