Q NOTES # 785: More Mumbling

Some people are tired of thinking about how life would be better if Donny Dump Lumps hadn't been allowed to plant Gorsucks, Boof, and the Handmaid in their current USSC seats, and how outrageous it is that Clearance Sale is still taking up space anywhere he sits. Their attention has drifted back to AG Merrick Garland and his failure thus far to indict Dump Lumps. They should remember the indictment is less important now than developing a case that produces a guilty verdict. Texas AG Kenny Paxton is living proof that indictments in themselves are sort of meaningless.

Right-wing "judicial originalists" like Slick Sammy Alito believe that issues before the courts should be decided via thought processes compatible with the thinking of privileged white men who wrote the U.S. Constitution. This suggests their preference for the norms, values and standards of the late 19th century, and essentially reversing many social changes that have occurred since FDR's New Deal. 

What this country needs is firmer separation of church and state, and a lot less dominionist influence in politics at every level. 

I stopped voting for Republican candidates long ago, and the last one I even considered voting for was Johnny (Ace) McCain when he ran against G.W. Bush for the (R) nomination in 2000. I voted for Ace in the open primary as an anti-GWB measure. By the time Ace ran again (2008), I was burned out on him. New information is spilling out today that isn't good for his legacy. C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

The top story in today's edition of the Coronavirus Updates email newsletter I receive from Washington Post every day: This week, the U.S. will finally pass the 1,000,000 fatalities due to COVID milestone, with another potential surge headed our way thanks to the newest variants.  I wonder how many of the 1,000,000 dead were Trumplican voters.
