Default five of the US supreme court justices are murderers

Just unspeakably evil.

Wisconsin counties where a majority of Nov. 2016 voters picked Trump (red) vs. Clinton (blue):



Wisconsin counties' COVID infections (as of yesterday), showing where voters are at the lightest vs. most intense risk of getting infected if they show up to the polls:



Hmmm....

(My husband's octogenarian, Democratic parents live in Madison, in Dane County. Dark blue on both maps.)

It's really, really cool that Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito just murdered (in the most literal, non-metaphorical sense) untold numbers of people to increase their buddy's chances of retaining his state supreme court seat.

Update:

Liberal judge Jill Karofsky defeats conservative justice Daniel Kelly in closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race

If not for the fact that people are still going to die unnecessarily due to this nakedly partisan ploy by Wisconsin's GOP-majority legislature and state supreme court, aided by the US Supreme Court's conservative majority, it would be very satisfying to think that by suppressing so many mail-in ballots, the Republicans may have actually disenfranchised a lot of their own conservative voters.

Another thing we can hope is that this was a bridge too far even for a lot of conservative voters. We haven't been wise of late to put much faith in their decency, but it does seem to be a reasonable interpretation. If the vote was suppressed in liberal places, and the liberal won, conservatives must have decided not to support a party willing to put lives at risk in order to hold their power.
