Conservative judges are liars, too

Rand Paul Praises Horrendous Supreme Court Decision, Would Let Employers Ruthlessly Exploit Workers

Conservative judges in the Lochner Era read “substantive due process” and “due process, liberty” as meaning neither states (14^th Amendment) nor the federal government (5^th Amendment) could regulate wages or hours or workplace safety conditions, etc.

All of which was a complete fabrication, of course.

Also, it is untrue to insist only Tea Baggers or the most extreme conservatives endorse Lochner.

On the contrary, it is pretty much the usual thing, at least for “fiscal” and “movement” conservatives.

George Will, for example, has gone on record more than once supporting Lochner and insisting it ought to be rehabilitated.

By the way, Brown was wrong, too.

But that was a liberal lie.

Forced to choose, of course I would prefer, on the whole, liberal liars to conservatives.

I prioritize the class war on the side of the under-dog.
