What you have to understand is that sometimes it is important for the federal judiciary to be boldly assert its power (to help Republicans) and sometimes be deferential to precedent or to other branches or to the states (to help Republicans)

He also says that the slow pace of desegregation was *caused* by resistance to brown, which is a head spinning logic.

I suspected it for a long while but when McConnell froze Garland's nomination I knew overturning Brown was 100% the endgame here.
