QOTD -- Unfit


"Virtually since the moment he took office, though, [Attorney General William "Low"] Barr’s words and actions have been fundamentally inconsistent with his duty to the Constitution. Which is why I now fear that his conduct — running political interference for an increasingly lawless president — will wreak lasting damage.

"The American people deserve an attorney general who serves their interests, leads the Justice Department with integrity and can be entrusted to pursue the facts and the law, even — and especially — when they are politically inconvenient and inconsistent with the personal interests of the president who appointed him. William Barr has proved he is incapable of serving as such an attorney general. He is unfit to lead the Justice Department."  -- Former Attorney General Eric Holder, Jr., in today's Washington Post.   That much has been clear for some time.  Now the question is what to do about it.
