Kavanaugh is now the new SCOTUS justice; so now what. There is the immediate impact on next month's election. Both side see this as a winning issue, so we can expect the Kavanaugh controversy to continue until then. There there is the long term impact on how SCOTUS cases will be decided and the impact on our lives. It seems that the Red-Blue divide will just get worst, for now and for decades to come.
But maybe a true global threat might force us to work together. Yesterday, the IPCC released a special report saying that the climate change needs drastic action now. Recent extreme weather has made this report credible. Distraction may no longer be an option.

ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts is referring ethics complaints against new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to federal judges in Colorado and neighboring states.
The complaints deal with statements Kavanaugh made during his confirmation hearings. They were filed originally with Kavanaugh’s old court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
