... damned if they don't. Senate Republicans find themselves in a no-win bind--one of their own making. If they rush through their Supreme Court confirmation despite credible allegations against the candidate, they risk rousing the ire of every thinking/feeling woman in America who is not a died-in-the-wool Trumpter. The travesty of the Anita Hill hearing rings even more poignantly in the #MeToo era. If they fail to confirm, and soon, they risk not only rousing the ire of their right-win evangelical base, but also losing the seat on the Supreme Court they have cheated and lied for these past couple of years.
I am sufficiently disenchanted with these people and their tactics to enjoy watching them squirm.
Meanwhile, however, let us not forget the goal for this November: to restore those checks and balances ordained by the Constitution, and flouted by the current Republican Senate and House. There is talk, now, of the possibility of Democrats returning with a majority in the Senate. I would like to believe this could happen.
What CAN happen, however, and what it falls to us, in CA 48 to MAKE happen, is the dumping of our current poor excuse for a congressional representative and his replacement with one who listens to his constituents and is capable of what we Buddhists call RIGHT ACTION.
Vote early! Be sure that every friend and associate is ready to vote! Let's elect Harley Rouda for a future that America can be proud of.
