Democrats Decide the Virginia Supreme Court is a "Threat to Democracy"
Making the Argument with Nick Freitas
Originalism Versus Judicial Activism
Nick contrasts originalist judges like Scalia with activist jurists and warns of courts acting as super legislatures.
The Party that spent four years screaming 'Threat to Democracy' is now, in response to LOSING a vote, literally plotting to fire every judge on the Virginia Supreme Court - not because the court was wrong, but because the court was inconvenient.
