Be afraid: MAGA wants a Christian theocracy
Eight years ago on June 8, 2016, I wrote the Blade’s Pride op-ed warning about the candidacy of Donald Trump for president. Specifically, I worried about the Supreme Court and about the damage Trump could do via executive order to LGBTQ rights.
Unfortunately, I was right on both counts. Here’s what I wrote then: “With one Supreme Court seat vacant and three more justices aged 77 or older, it is imperative that Trump not be allowed to make selections to the high court.
The names he’s floated so far for the high court are a who’s who of anti-LGBT bigotry.” We all know what happened next. Trump got three picks to the high court.
If he’s re-elected, you can bet that Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who are already under fire, will retire, giving Trump two more picks and a majority five of nine MAGA justices.
