A friend, a district court judge, told me a couple of years ago that if the Rule of Law held we would be all right. It is somewhat reassuring that the Rule of Law held in the DOJ last January and the then-president (love the sound of that) backed off from the people in DOJ who held to principal. We still need to see SCOTUS uphold the Rule of Law versus dismantle precedent. Then maybe it will be time to breath a little easier but not yet.
I’ve held since he was confirmed that Merrick Garland would find the cracks and let the light in. I suppose the higher power gives some reason now to the fact that President Obama’s choice for a Supreme Court Justice was denied for this task now before Atty Gen Garland. Organizing the troops.
Sad to say, given that SCOTUS has been corrupted by the Federalist Society and it's dark money donors, I strongly doubt they will uphold the Rule of Law in the long run.
Yes! I wonder if we’ll ever know how that all played out. But I sure hope it is examined and taught as a history lesson. I’m reminded of Fred Rogers telling us to look for the helpers. They may not be perfect but they did not let the country down when it was all on the line. Harder to fire a handful and get away with it than just one brave soul.

Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead!

AND, if democracy holds, there is the option of SCOTUS impeachment. There are more than a couple on that bench who are at risk.
But to think where we would be if Rosen hadn’t held to the rule of law. Yikes. The consequences of a dishonest education is to feel falsely secure .
I would say “but for one man” but sounds like he was not alone in threatening to resign and go public.

I have far less confidence in SCOTUS when it comes to the "rule" of "law".
Morning Cathy!
