Quote Of The Day -- "An American Tragedy"
"His performance is indelibly etched in the public mind. For as long as [Republican hack Brett] Kavanaugh sits on the court, he will remain a symbol of partisan anger, a haunting reminder that behind the smiling face of judicial benevolence lies the force of an urgent will to power. No one who felt the force of that anger could possibly believe that Kavanaugh might actually be a detached and impartial judge. Each and every Republican who votes for Kavanaugh, therefore, effectively announces that they care more about controlling the Supreme Court than they do about the legitimacy of the court itself. There will be hell to pay." -- Robert Post, former dean and Sterling professor at Yale Law School. He goes on to call Kavanaugh's placement on the Court "an American tragedy."
It's up to us to make sure, certainly in the near term, that it's Republicans who will have hell to pay for this.
