Judicial Dinosaurs from the swamp

The latest pick from a republican president* for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, is supposedly a "nice" guy who will decide cases based on an originalist view of the Constitution.   Of course, somehow, the originalist take on almost any case hinges on whether it is beneficial to corporations, the wealthy and the socially conservative.  Funny how that works.  However, in the 21st century, the government or more descriptively, the regulatory state cannot be hobbled by the interpretation of an 18th century document written by men with no notion of what technology would do to change their world.  Citizens today expect to be able to breathe clean air, drink clean water and avoid environmental carcinogens.  They also approve of the social safety net and want it strengthened.  An 18th century government cannot do these things in the face of globe spanning corporations with the clout of IBM, Boeing, Google, Facebook, et. al.  A government of the people, by the people and for the people must have the ability to regulate corporations for the public good.  Kavanaugh and his ilk propose a government by corporations.  It is a stark choice and we need to exercise our limited franchise to make sure this is the last disaster the GOP can foist upon us.
