Full blast

Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post's esteemed columnist, has no love for President Trump, his administration, Trumpists in general, and the chumps in Congress.  So in this column, she tells it like it is regarding what Congress and Trump are doing to make the Supreme Court another agent of their collective will.


Kavanaugh’s confirmation went seriously off track weeks ago

Here's her blast:

"Surely there is blame on both sides regarding the politicization of the federal courts, but the damage to the Supreme Court itself is largely the work of the Republican Party, specifically of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Republicans brag about their power play in denying Judge Merrick Garland a vote, and then doing away with the 60-vote cloture requirement. They are downright delighted with McConnell for having pulled this off (almost)."

Exactly right.  So if Kavanaugh's nomination goes right off the rails, it serves them right.
