EXCERPT:
ROTHMAN: "To Jon’s point, if you're a Republican who voted for justices, you’re very happy with how this term went for conservative causes, conservative intellectual philosophies, legal philosophies, it was a good term. And the extent to which they have another opportunity to put another conservative justice on the court will only solidify that. Democrats appear to know that. The left is very outraged over this. They’re in an existential crisis. They say, 'We need to do everything we possibly can.' E. J. Dionne has a piece in the 'Washington Post', 'Do everything we possibly can.' Missing from that is what we’re supposed to do. It sort of ominously says civility might be an obstacle to that imperative. But to the extent that there’s any governmental institution, any mechanism that they can appeal to to stop this — it doesn’t exist. Democrats made their bed in 2013, it was completed in 2017, end of story.”
