Roberts is upset that SCOTUS gets no respect? Maybe if the right-wing extremists who have taken over the court and repeatedly lied under oath didn’t show such contempt for precedent and for swearing to tell the truth they would command a little more respect. If Biden had any sense of history, he would have appointed Anita Hill. She’s qualified and is a truth-teller. Maybe her presence would at least make the lying Thomas slightly uncomfortable. And as we return to the environmental degradation which existed before the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act, where will all the Republican hunters and fishermen land? There’s nothing “conservative “ about this activist court. Dems need to do some relabeling. Maybe hire Frank Luntz to show them the way.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
