This is from Eliot Cohen writing in the Atlantic:

For the community of conservative thinkers and experts, and more importantly, conservative politicians, this is a testing time. Either you stand up for your principles and for what you know is decent behavior, or you go down, if not now, then years from now, as a coward or opportunist. Your reputation will never recover, nor should it.

This is from Charlie Copeland writing to stir Republicans to call Senator's Coons and Carper:

President Trump has kept his promise to nominate a Supreme Court Justice in the mold of Anatonin Scalia. He kept his promise last night when he announced that he had chosen Judge Neil Gorsuch for the High Court.... Already, the liberal elite are working hard to ensure that Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons vote against Judge Gorsuch. They will use every means available to twist their arms so both of Delaware's senators fall in-line with their extreme progressive agenda.

One day Copeland is going to have to answer for what he did during the popular vote losers reign of malevolent idiocy. I suspect when that day comes, Copeland's excuse will be that he was just doing his job.

…from the desk of R.E. Vanella. So I’ve been having real trouble trying to describe my emotions lately. I’m a bit of a spaz anyway. Nervous energy. Broader-line Frenetic. I’ve been wound up even more lately, but at the same time exhausted. A lot has to do with the state of the neighborhood, I’m sure. From three doors away to three time zones away. I’m starting to think it’s survivor’s guilt. Affluent white guy with no kids. I could keep my head down and my mouth shut and with any luck get through this dangerous circus OK. But this is some very nasty business that simply cannot be ignored. People are going to be broken soon. For those already broken I can hardly imagine.
