I returned home from our morning walk and turned on GEM$NBComcast
Breaking -Gorsuch sworn in.
I feel a blinding rage - they stole Obama's appointment. I don't plan to forget.

...and most of the folks throwing it in my face don't have the time (or the brains) to hear that he was given a fair hearing and after a thorough investigation into this mindset and how that might play out on SCOTUS, the majority of senators concluded he was no fit for the highest court in the land.

I have had to learn to control my despair and anger at the situation - usually by tuning out. Turn off the TV. Stay away from DU & other political sites. It was heartening to see the media actually do their job for a short period of time. But in the end, they are partly responsible for this asshole in office, so they will look for any reason at all to validate him as president, so they don't have to admit their complicity in putting this horribly compromised shithead in office.
Isn't the Court scheduled to hear a case on tax funds supporting religious schools? I'll go see if I can find it. My husband mentioned it this morning. How convenient that Neil I'm-for-rule-of-law-unless-your-Christian-religion-says-otherwise Gorscuh is now on the Court. We are so fucked. I have zero optimism.

Yeah, I can't see that being abused.
