TDS had an apropos interview…

With Sherilyn Ifill. It’s depressing but incredibly informative and contains a ton of context.

She’s incredibly impressive, not that the opinion of a schlub like me is validating in any way. I was just struck by it. Replace most of the court with people half as capable and thoughtful and reasonable as she and we’d be in a much better place.

Hopefully, to paraphrase a friend, we all have the energy and opportunity in a few years to do the hard work of putting democracy back together.
