Yet another lamentation for partisan decadence and the serial death of probity.
Yesterday, 90 percent of Senate Republicans declared as unconstitutional the — maybe — upcoming trial of a living, very former president of the United States for — sedition.
"Maybe," since what's the point of convening a jury already announcing its corrupt, unyielding intent to absolve and acquit?
There may be some civics-textbook value in at least trying to condemn, on paper, such an antipresidential blackguard. But for Christ's sake, I would argue, we might as well instead just declare the Republican Party's virual entirety to be a spent, dead force at any level of American integrity, respectability, or decency.
Be done with it and move on to overcoming — or trying to overcome — the general blackguards' opposition to legislative decency. Spend also some time trying to convince those lone, four-of-the-five unretiring, principled GOP senators to quit caucusing with a party that is philosophically, morally and ethically dead, dead, dead.
