Son cucarachas, cada una … cockroaches, all of them. And sunlight is an excellent disinfectant and cockroach repellent.

For the nation’s chief law enforcement officer to be commenting in any way on ongoing litigation involving federal officeholders is at best inappropriate.

I keep asking myself how bad it can get with racists and racist enablers running every branch of government. I keep getting the answer really, really bad. Our institutions are so much weaker and ineffectual than I believed possible. I guess I should thank Trump for exposing the kind of rot that I thought was just a conspiracy nut’s fever dream.
I said it before and I believe it - the worst racists are the college educated ones in tailor-made suits.

I heard tell that he was a federal prosecutor for a spell. I wonder if he remembers ever being in court,

“You have to wait to you get to the Supreme Court to get a fair ruling on this,” Sessions said.
Brett has to weigh in for “justice” to be had.

It wasn’t long after his hearings that Thomas went quietly to his job of voting against everything Scalia told him to and voting for every conservative activist case that came before him.
I do not think Kavanaugh is going to be able to pull this off as quietly. His anti Democrat rant is on the record, and I think the curtain has been pulled back to finally expose once and for all that the myth of an impartial judiciary is just that - a myth. And I think this is a bad thing for America as a whole.
It is a two-fer. Not only will SCOTUS rule in favor of every phony lawsuit brought by conservative lawyers who manage to find some idiot who has standing (imagine an endless parade of anti-gay bakers, anti-affirmative action aggrieved students and anti-abortion cases requiring clinics to meet the standards of University hospitals), every ruling will also be tainted by the obvious corruption of overt political bias that was forced onto the court by outright thievery of one seat and the phony charade of an “investigation” for the other seat.
It is a very bad thing not to be able to believe in a just arbiter at the end of long and devisive political struggles. Societies that do not believe in the objectivity of their courts are societies that struggle against violence. All of the justices are invested in making this look normal and preserving the illusion of objectivity, but it is not going to work. As the rights of everyday people are trampled and the rights of corporations are expanded to the point of unsustainable overreach, the foundations will begin to crack - and they are going to crack in a very big and ugly way.
Note that the Republicans did not have to do this - they did it because they could. They are jumping the shark daily because their greed and current power has emboldened them to openly flaunt their ability to do whatever they want.
I lived through a time when politically motivated bombings were commonplace. We are knocking on that door once again.

I’m just amazed the BIG CHICKEN hasn’t come home to roost yet. I believe it’s a matter of time before someone cracks and someone falls. If the Trump issues go before the SC Kavanaugh will do Trump’s bidding regardless of appearances. If the mid terms don’t go well for Democracy I expect a lot of problems to come down the pike. I remember the times you allude to. I don’t miss the open violence. I want it all settled at the voting polls.

Me too - one can argue that the violence brought us Nixon.

There are times that are ripe for violence whether that is good or bad. In 79 and 80 I lived in France and the locals all were incredulous that Ronald Reagan could become president. I had lived in San Francisco prior to France and I had a hard time believing he was the candidate, too. I predicted someone would shoot him if he became president because I saw his governorship as a one sided totally heartless failure for the poorer people in CA. At the same time Sadat was in power in Egypt. He got great press in America but his average citizen hated him at home. Shortly after I returned to the States Sadat was whacked by his military and not long after that Reagan had his day. It took a madman to get Reagan but I could see a madman cutting loose in America and taking out any of a number of the more fascist so called leaders we have today. McConnell is talking about cutting programs after enacting insane tax cuts for the corporations and the rich. I could see that driving someone over the edge if they were hanging on by their finger nails trying to get by on Medicare and SS. There is a breaking point.
