Reply #16: An attack on the judiciary floats a lot of conservative boats [View All]

[GarySeven]

For decades, business interests have been steaming about consumer rights laws, which, like civil rights laws, were passed over their objections or defeated by judges who dismissed their legal challenges. The resulting expanded rights of plaintiffs to sue for injuries and deaths caused by negligently designed products have really stuck in the craw of manufacturers, who would rather make money than concern themselves with the safety of consumers. The attack on the judiciary by the moral crusaders fits hand-in-glove with business' interests in curtailing causes of action by consumers.

Thus conservatives are able to unite business interests and moral crusaders under the single goal of cutting the balls off judges, who - with legislatures and executives captured by the far-right - are the only obstacle to their agenda of establishing a theocratic dictatorship.
