Democrats fundamentally misunderstand how human rights work.

You don't ever put human rights up to a vote.

"Bipartisanship requires me to.." shut the fuck up. THE MAJORITY DOESN'T GET TO DEPRIVE THE MINORITY OF RIGHTS.

Democrats acted like the Warren court's rulings were eternal. No. You have to write the laws and amend the Constitution or this stuff can be wiped out in a few months.

You draw a hard line at human rights and when people challenge you on them you say "I draw a hard line at human rights."

This was meant to be the fundamental purpose of the constitution. This is why constitutional democracies have constitutions. Because THE MAJORITY DOESN'T GET TO DEPRIVE THE MINORITY OF RIGHTS.

Our constitution, written by white men who never even thought "hey maybe people who aren't white men might need rights too," is insufficient.

Like imagine telling James Madison that Black women should have exactly the same human rights he has.
