How Delusional Are These People?

The Washington Post reported on how NPR's Nina Totenberg reported something that all justices involved explicitly said was false: that Gorsuch refused to wear a mask because Chief Justice Roberts wanted to protect Justice Sotomayor.   Roberts insisted that he made no such request.  Sotomayor and Gorsuch made a joint statement denying that there was any truth to it.  

The Post story to their credit presents this as a Totenberg screwed up big time and observed that she has a history of failing to reveal conflicts of interest in her Supreme Court reporting.

That is not the tragedy.   It is the comments section where many of these people see Totenberg's false reporting as proof that all of Trump's appointees are jerks and should not be on the Court.  There are a lot of Post subscribers who are completely unable to read and comprehend.  Perhaps they are just so angry that they cannot see straight.

    This establishes quite clearly the pertinence of Mr. Sowell's counsel: "...stop trying to reason with unreasonable people."

    Because, by definition, you cannot. And that points, inevitably and inexorably, to great danger. Either in our time, or our children's (grand and otherwise), there will be a tumultuous consequence for the large-scale multi-generational surrender of Christian men giving their children to the government for an education.

    They have been successfully "educated", by a God-hating, parent-hating, country hating collectivist system that is performing Gramsci's "long march through the institutions". And, when challenged, showing continuous demonstrations of both the lack of acumen and the indoctrination of depravity, Christians in unison chant "No...our schools are different".

    1. "Our Schools are different" -- The parents are bribed by A's and B's. Because they think their kids are smarter and get good grades and high percentile scores on standardized tests, they think the problems are at "Those Schools" with "Those people's" children.
