“Vengeance Is Ours,” Saith Republicans 0

At The Colorado Sun, Mike Littwin tries to make sense of the nonsensical. A snippet:

With no smoking gun — with, in fact, no actual evidence whatsoever of high crimes and/or misdemeanors on Biden’s part — House Republicans voted to make the inquiry official anyway because, well, they could. And that’s even though some of the Trump fanboys at Fox News have been forced to admit that, uh, we got nothin’.

So why the official inquiry? Let’s go with the two most obvious reasons. One, because Donald Trump wants it. Two, because Johnson and his team, who can’t seem to do much of anything else, including passing bills to aid an embattled ally fighting off the Russians, felt they had to do something to justify their phoney-baloney jobs.

Still Rising Again after All These Years 0

The editorial board of the Bangor Daily News points out that supremacist courts are gutting out the Voting Rights Act explains why that is a bad thing. Here’s a bit their editorial (emphasis added):

We’ve noticed an unfortunate notion in conservative politics and jurisprudence basically holding that the VRA did its job and is no longer needed — at least not in the same ways. At best, this is flawed logic, and at worst it’s an excuse for inaction. America’s voting systems and procedures didn’t become less racist because everybody decided one day to be nicer to each other. It happened because the power of the law, this law in particular, made it so. When you allow a key tool of ensuring equality to wither bit by bit, that allows equality to wither with it. This should be unacceptable to everyone, regardless of party affiliation or ideology.

Courting Disaster 0

Gene Collier, writing at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, fears that the current Supreme Supremacist Court is forsaking the rule of law for the rule of flaw. A snippet:

The Court’s ability to grasp what is plainly and legally obvious, you might remember, is another foundational American pillar that ain’t what it used to be.
