So the Heir's going to pull a Flaileef here, and bomb-blast the Donkeys For The People for not doing enough to stop Amy Coney Barrett from going on the Supreme Court.  One of only two things he heard out of Chuck Schumer is that one decades-to-come style talking point.  This is the one where they say Person X going on the Supreme Court would have ramifications for decades to come.  The Heir takes this as disingenuous, because *any* time Person X goes on the Court, it has ramifications for decades to come, though historically the Heir sees that more often than not, "decades" is an exaggeration.  Look at David Souter.  He was only on the Court for two decades, and the Heir isn't going to let the Chuck Schumers of the world get off the hook with saying, yeah but two decades is still decades.  That's because they know full well when you hear "decades to come," you tend to think 3, 4, 5 decades or something, to the point where you'd have an 80 year old Amy Coney Barrett still going strong in, what, I guess that would be 2050 or something?  But what if Justice Barrett also decides to leave relatively early?  That would blot out all conformist analysis.  And here's the other thing Schumer said the Heir wants to go after him for.  It was something to the effect of, you may think this will blow over, but the American people will remember.  The Heir doesn't think the Elephantine Elitists think things will blow over, since if the conventional wisdom is correct, the Elitists put Justice Barrett up there for the purpose of apparently weaponizing the Supreme Court as a kind of third house of Congress, and supposedly for "decades to come."  So that's why the Heir is asking state governments that are trying to make advances in affordable health care and affordability at large and improving people's live to get ready to defy a given decision by the Supreme Court that is perceived to be a purely political move to interfere with those advances.  The Heir also wants the remaining "liberal" Justices in their dissent in such a politicized decision to write that dissent to be actionable by the state governments, as if the dissent were the decision itself.  It's kind of a shame that it may come to that, because it means that the Supreme Court will cease to be the respected institution it is today, as opposed to a bureaucratic obstacle to be done away with like the way people seem to see the Electoral College as being.  That's why we in the Bachelor want to emphasize things like jurisprudence and respect for precedent over weaponized politicization.
