we are at this pivotal and foreboding moment, and the new majority seems completely unabashed about using its power to really change american society in a series of ways that i think society is not ready to go to. and we have five members of the court who were all sort of bred in this hot house of conservative thought and hostility to supreme court precedent and really seem poised to make their views the law of the land. and whatever you think about the sort of brass knuckles political maneuvers that got them there, and they were pretty raw, there's a -- the huge problem here is that when you have a majority all drawn from the same narrow stratum that american legal profession doesn't agree with, and i think a lot of american society won't be happy with, that's a bad spot for the court, and a bad spot for the country.
