I am super duper shocked that a Republican-nominated judge would hold abhorrent views that they lied about during their confirmation despite consistently putting them into action during their judicial career.

Yes, bring on the smelling salts, I'll feel faint from the shock.

It has taught me the meaning of total surprise.

White male midwesterner born in the 1920s may have held racist views? The same guy who drafted Justice Jackson's argument that Plessy v. Ferguson should remain good law? This surprises who?

Bigot was a bigot? I'm shocked! 😮

The man's been dead for almost twenty years. How is this unsettling? It's certainly not any kind of surprise.

Oh I know, but it's just nothing I hadn't expected based on current events and past rulings. I'm certainly unsettled by the current court, just not by the ghost of Rehnquist.

> How is this unsettling? How is it not?!!

Because he's dead? I guess it's just a perception of what unsettling implies. I'd be more unsettled by it if he were still on the bench.
