The Federalist Society has been around in one form or another for a long time. They are the folks who had a list of young, alt-right, judges--many with no experience at all--waiting for Mr. Trump's election. They gave the list to McConnell who used it to bargain with the new president for a few items he wanted. The list was long enough to fill the empty federal benches coast to coast. Young, untried, grateful, many not too bright, appointed for life. And if you want a skin-crawling experience (I lasted not quite ten minutes) go to YouTube and watch Mike Pence's speech. That man has been handled, polished, and rehearsed. I had one moment during my ten when I thought I was watching a clip from The Manchurian candidate.
Mr. Pence is bankrolled by the remaining Koch brother who has renounced Trump but not his policies.
Pence has always presented as Robo-Politician. The most authentic IтАЩve seen him in public was helping right tombstones pushed over in a Jewish Cemetery (for longer than photo op).
My Millennial Son said itтАЩs hard to watch тАЬthe crumbling of a great empireтАЭ and wondered how his Truman baby mother could stand it. Great men have risen to save the nation at тАЬcrumblingтАЭ moments before. Fingers crossedтАж
Federalist Society awash in dark money. Must pass something to at least diminish that ability

We walk in an alien landscape.

Yes. Fingers crossed. And any charms, chants, magic potions available. I think it will require all that and more.
