The republicans once again in their bid to be pure evil appointed correctly-aged people to the "infinite Nazism" court.
I know Sotomayor got there during Obama. I remember it happening. She's still too old even back then! Put up a 35-40 year old! Not trying to do generational politics, although for sure boomers and X broadly suck shit, but this is just pragmatic "keep yourself in power" politics. You don't appoint someone in their 50s when most people should be retiring around 60-65 (despite retirement being a myth for people, but that's a different topic).
The fact this is true, and it is, should be a massive indictment on the US and any legitimacy of the government.
I know I said no generational politics, but I mostly mean that like "young doesn't mean good." But if we're all being super honest... old does mean bad with the US population and also UK and EU generally. They're more actively racist as in more "I want separate bathrooms" type racist. They're 100% in the bag for anything that might help them and 1000% "kill them all now!" for anything that might benefit anyone else, even if they already benefited from it (like Medicare, social security, Medicaid, college being free until like the 1980s, credit scores becoming a thing, etc.).
Holy fuck I didn't realize she was so old

69 is young for this gerontocracy.
That's cause boomers can't share.
