Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

A reminder that KKK criminal Ken Paxton offered a 1 day prison sentence in Texas for a child rapist and a judge gave that rapist a 60 day sentence which ended up being reduced to 29 days for good behavior. Ken provides protection for pedophiles as well as crooks.

Adam Hoffman was convicted of raping his friend's young son. He should be in jail, but Paxton used his power to get him on a misdemeanor. That means he only served for 60 days, didn't have to register as a sex offender in Texas, and then left the state.
