Dems - We want to do this 'FOR' the people, America, the planet, any other country.....
GOP - We want to do this 'TO' the people, America, the planet, any other country.....

And yes, I was also naive enough to think the decisions would affect future presidents equally. I did think we had a corrupt SCOTUS majority, but I had no fucking clue just how utterly corrupt and depraved they were/are. I personally believe that if we do gain a majority large enough, they have shown their documented willingness to obliterate the Constitution to the extent that they will be impeachable.
