In the effort to become a "more perfect union" we have amended our Constitution to right wrongs and expand rights to more of our population. Conservatives want to turn back the clock by removing some of those amendments and stopping people from becoming citizens or having rights in the first place.
And it isn't just the rabid newly-angry Tea Party types who only got engaged when they saw a black man become president of their WASP-y nation.
No, it also goes hand-in-hand with vile conservatives like Antonin Scalia, who is very damn sure that women do not have any Constitutionally-protected rights.
I'm not kidding. That's his interpretation, and given his place on the Supreme Court, that's a damn scary opinion to have with that much power in his hands.
