A Legitimacy Crisis Looms
September 28, 2018 at 6:25 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Mike Allen: “If Kavanaugh is confirmed, Democrats could be expected to question the legitimacy of his swing Supreme Court vote. Congress degraded itself yesterday. And the Trump White House of course has serious credibility issues.”
“So the United States of America will be three-for-three in diminished trust in its branches of government.”
David Wasserman: “To Dems who can’t believe what they’re watching, remember: a majority of the Senate now represents 18% of the population and answers to a subset of voters that is considerably whiter, redder and more rural than the nation as a whole. That’s the reality of our times.”
