The Ultimate Arbiter
from Constitution Thursday · host Dave Bowman
A recent Supreme Court decision (Bostock) has many on the Political right proclaiming the death of the conservative movement. Their reasoning is rooted in a combination of dismay and what has to be some COVID inflicted loss of perspective, but in either case, there is a great deal of anger and gnashing of teeth at Justice Neil Gorsuch, who not that long ago was the darling of the Conservative Right. This ruling by the Supreme Court has resulted in a number of Facebook posts, one of which caught my eye because it came from a friend who I regard as wise, educated, and having a good understanding of how things work. which brings me back to the same COVID inflicted loss of perspective, and reminded me that it might be time to talk about Article V and how Congress, at least used to, regularly "overrules” the Supreme Court.
