How quickly has Kavanaugh become yesterday's news?
For too many women, who flew to Washington, to tell tearful stories with trembling lower lips, to bond with fellow women who have been abused by predatory men, who wailed that women can never again feel safe in this country, who Tweet each other and say, "Thank you for sharing your story. How very brave of you."
For all those women for whom this final nail in the lid of an archly conservative Supreme Court, this has simply been a great stage for self dramatization, hugging, wearing pink hats, well they can move on now to organizing marches and singing "We Shall Overcome."
For the Republicans, men mainly, they can retire to their dens, break open some booze and light cigars: The Court is now safely in their hands for the next 30 years.
Roe v Wade's days are numbered. Individuals will be able to claim their unwillingness to serve Blacks, gays, MS-13 members, Spanish speakers is protected by the First Amendment, as their racism is simply an expression of their deeply held religious beliefs: GOD has spoken to them and told them to burn Negroes and Jews and undesirables at the stake.
Unless and until the Democrats can brave up and chose some real leaders, real warriors.
