5. What I want to say to all the haters.

If you don’t agree with abortion, then feel free not to have one.

If you don’t approve of drag shows, feel free to not attend one.

If you don’t approve of certain books, then feel free not to read them.

See how that works? That’s freedom, to me.

But I do agree that much of SCOTUS is for sale, just like our Congress has been since the founding. But then again, if you're looking for perfect, I don't think you'll find that even in the Nordic countries.
