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.”
