Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's decision to step down after this session is a very welcoming sign that Democrats in Washington are finally "getting it" when it comes to the ridiculous cycles of our nation's politics. While I don't necessarily think we can say what the midterms will bring - the pandemic and the lunacy of our partisanship render past models flawed - it's fair to plan for a wipe out. I don't think it's a lead pipe cinch, but it's certainly probable.
Breyer seemed determined to hang out the way Ginsburg did, which obviously has had disastrous effects on the state of jurisprudence in this country. By this June, we will likely see Roe v Wade overturned and any efforts to curb voting rights abuses nullified. I'm already seeing worm-brained pundits talk about restoring impartiality to the Court. What a fucking joke. The Supreme Court is now a nakedly partisan institution. It has always been a cypto-partisan institution, but now it's out in the open.
Act that way.
