My alarm clock woke me up today playing REM's "Its the End of the World as We Know It" and it could not be more true and I waver between outrage and depression.
The confirmation of ACB today will go down in history as the day the Supreme Court died.
And I am not attacking her - I don't agree with her on ideology but that doesn't disqualify her from being a decent jurist. What does disqualify her is HER willingness to be used by tRump and the GOP a week before the election - the first ever this close and the most hypocritcal.
She is the ONLY person who can stop this madness and should ask Senate leadership to delay today's vote until after the election. She should do so in deference to all jurists - in particular Merrick Garland, another decent jurist (whom the GOP disagrees with on ideology) who should be a SCOTUS justice. She should also do so as a message to the autocrats that she will not be biased toward or used by politicians.
But alas, I know she will not. Because HER ambition is more important than the country.
