How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads." ~ Mary Oliver

THE KAVANAUGH PICK CAN BE POLITICIZED WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM TRUMP OR McCONNELL

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 6 hours ago
On Monday, Brett Kavanaugh was criticized for appearing at a ceremonial swearing-in ceremony at the White House. He'd already been officially sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts two days earlier, and it was clear that the prime-time ceremony was intended as a Donald Trump/GOP campaign rally. But that was an idea that originated in the Trump White House, right?
