Cruel Intemperance - by Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner:
Most news accounts also noted that the leak is “unprecedented.” If we want to talk about unprecedented events at the Supreme Court, though, let us cast our gaze farther back in our history. The court’s intervention to decide a presidential election in 2000 with _Bush v. Gore _was unprecedented. So too were Mitch McConnell’s machinations to block the court appointment of Merrick Garland. Both contributed to the court’s current majority, which appears hellbent on scorching legal precedent in a march to desired political and social ends — the will of the people be damned.
Dan Rather for the win, y’all.
