***EXACTLY*** what Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Trmp, and their ilk HATE about Civil Rights legislation. They want to restore -- even increase -- the barriers and decrease the number of minority officials (elected or appointed) and are certainly succeeding at that. Just look at the military officers Trmp refused to promote -- he's taking a direct hand in resuscitating old Jim Crow.

How miserable it must be to live with all that hate inside. They think it doesn't affect them, but it does. It poisons their souls. And for those who believe in a hereafter, it ensures Trump's, and his minions', will not be pleasant. Nor will their historical legacy on this earth be one of anything but unmitigated evil.

The good {if such ever existed} is oft interred with their bones.”
