    No there was not.
    Sorry not a conservative position. But yes as I said the courts have always been political.

    The "government" isn't an abstraction. It's made up of people who get in to power by virtue we the people voting. We the people are mostly apathetic in our role of controlling what government does. But the power to do so is there. It's up to us to use it.

    Yes, an 'orgy' of white cops shooting unarmed black men.

    Neither is a criminal cartel. The founders described exactly what government is:

    "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." - Thomas Jefferson

    "It is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government” - Thomas Paine

    That's what children are simplistically taught in grade school. Some of us grow up and find out otherwise.

    I would add "and ignorant" after "apathetic".

    Correct, see my signature, quoted from our founding document.
