Those monsters and the GOP deserve to be called out by name for how they are destroying America for liberals and conservatives alike. They shouldn't be enabled to hide under cover of a broad term and diverse group.

I would agree with this except for the fact that it is a policy and platform position for the GOP and conservatives in the United States. They are NOT trying to introduce balance into the courts, they are intentionally trying to introduce ideology to the bench so their political views will be carried out through means they cannot achieve through the other branches of government. This was the one branch that was to be apolitical, but here we are with one group clearly articulating this is their goal and intent. That is the big difference.
