‘RIGHT-WING POLITICIANS IN ROBES”

That’s Linda Hirshman’s accurate description in the Washington Post of today’s Supreme Court majority.

She urges Biden to finally face the reality of today’s GOP, now that Justice Breyer has:

“For a long year, it has seemed that Breyer, and, worse, Biden, were similarly near- and shortsighted about political reality: Breyer dithered over the ‘factors’ in any decision; Biden has bobbed and weaved to avoid upsetting the GOP. Massive pandemic relief went out without his name on it, the Trump-dominated courts eviscerated his efforts to control the virus, and he never named the Former Guy, lest he alienate his supporters. A replacement of one moderate liberal for another won’t fix the court. But maybe it gives Biden a chance to realize finally that the past — those vaunted days of fellowship and bipartisan reason — is not only past, it is dead.”
