Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Depressing, But We Should Be Used To It By Now

 Look, Clarence Thomas is corrupt. He's a generally awful human being. 

He is not going to resign over the first part because of the second part. The fact that Abe Fortas resigned over something more trivial does not inform Thomas' behavior.

The GOP - in their rearguard fight to preserve unpopular theocratic and plutocratic policies - will not ever voluntarily relinquish any power they have anywhere. So stop framing the story as if that's going to happen.
