Scary thought: Kobach replaces Ross as Commerce Secretary

Granted, the Supreme Court threw Ross a lifeline by shielding him from testifying in the Census citizenship question case. However, Ross is still tainted to a degree and given his age, he could resign or be forced out. With an even more Republican Senate, it will be easier to confirm new Cabinet members and Kobach is surely clamoring for that Commerce job so he can inflict his racism upon America as a whole. He surely wants to cash in on his friendship with 45 now that he is jobless in two months.

I'm not opposed to letting him and his stooge torture them a bit more.
