"...if the Republicans on that Court are going to continue their deference to Trump."

IF?

Sensei, Sensei, Sensei. Tisk, tisk, tisk.

Time for the teacher to learn from his student and this student, in the spirit of Forrest Gump, admonishes you that "stupid is, as stupid does." And stoopid M.F.'s are the most dangerous people in the Milky Way. I ain't talking about no candy bar, Brudda.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers

By Emily Dickinson

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

Yes, hope has a uncanny way of flickering when intellect says otherwise. As Dante notes in The Inferno, existence without hope is the very definition of Hell - the sign on Dante's gates of Hell reads: "Abandon hope all ye who enter."

So we must not despair - keep that "thing with feathers" fluttering.
