  1.  @HLBear Also, the Federalist Society (run by Leonard Leo) picks the most conservative justices in the country who are willing to do what their big donors (and I mean BIG) want, and hands a list of their names to POTUS to appoint to the Supreme Court as well as regional courts around the country. It’s all about money and power.

  4. It seems to me like the South has always been a problem (starting sometime before the Civil War), and I’m trying to understand it from the viewpoint of U.S. history, because it had to have started earlier. Was it because the North had more industrial infrastructure before the South? (I’m taking into consideration that slavery existed in the North as well as the South before the Civil War). I know that a lot of our early politicians were from Virginia (like Thomas Jefferson and others), but they were from other states as well. I know that a lot of southerners still say “the South will rise again” (I know because I grew up there), and I know there’s still deep resentment for the North, but, aside from the Civil War & “Carpetbaggers”, I don’t really understand why because most people there either will not or cannot tell you why. I may be a bit obtuse, but it just seems to me that the South IS trying to “rise again”, and destroy all the progress we’ve created in our country. It never seemed that they even wanted to come into the 20th Century, not to mention the 19th. Plus, it appears to me that Southern politicians have generally had an outsized, or more powerful , role in Congress. Can someone who’s more knowledgeable about American history please explain it to me?
