A Bygone Era
I'm bummed about this Alito thing. Roberts didn't alarm me as much. Even though Roberts is conservative, he seems like he has a good legal head on his shoulders, and that he has respect for precedent. Alito — how do I say this? — gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Did anyone watch the State of the Union address? There's the president praising Coretta Scott King, yet he holds none of the same values that she did. (Of course, he had to praise her as it would have been such poor taste and such a slap in the face not to). She was for non-violence, gay rights, women's rights, fighting poverty — such the opposite of this administration.
Her death feels like the passing of an era.
