Robert Burns’ “Parcel of Rogues in a Nation” comes to mind. The words from 1791 about how the Scots lost even their names to English gold buying off traitors rings a little close to home these days. Except their is no equivalent to a Robert the Bruce or William Wallace here now.
Having power is vastly different than actually having the moral high ground. Either Garland and Barrett, or neither. One set of rules. When we have a 13 member Court, remember what you wrote.
“We broke every rule that we ourselves had created…”
Except, of course, if you go back to 2016 you can find multiple times McConnell brought up the difference between situations where the Senate and presidency are controlled by different parties and ones where they are controlled by the same party when it comes to confirming appointments.
“…and lost credibility…”
Can you lose credibility with people who never thought you credible to begin with? Because those were the people kvetching about this.
Ooohhh, THAT’S gonna stick! Ofdonald! If its going to take cutting all public funding for social benefits to get these pious hypocrites out of our private lives, it might be worth it.

President Biden will expand the federal courts at all levels. Look for a 17 member SCOTUS coming soon.
