Chris Crawford — Because you disagree with something, that doesn’t make it false. I could pick any of the things you indicate were false and document it but since you think it’s all lies, I’ll just choose one. In fairness, please pick something yourself you vehemently disagree with and I’ll discuss that topic as well.

You indicate my statement that the Supreme Court has weakened every Civil and Voting Rights Act in history is false. You didn’t point to any Act that hasn’t been weakened. You say the Supreme Court isn’t racist as if that somehow makes my statement a lie? Starting with the last Voting Rights, we can perhaps agree the Court weakened it when they gutted the enforcement section. The very next day, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and others began implementing provisions to suppress votes. Some of those have already been declared Unconstitutional but weakening those Acts is what the Court has always done. Call them racist or not (they did give us Dred Scott) or the pawns of the rich and powerful, they did what they did. If you think it a lie, point out a specific example.
