"Republicans long ago abandoned a role as a partner in Government, but emerged as the enemy within; resisting democracy on all fronts. They have shut down the Government; suppressed voting rights; advocated refusals to implement the law and clearly violated its terms, all with an arrogant zeal that if the country was not as they thought it should be, they would rather destroy it. It seems that the only thing that somewhat kept things together was the Court and rule of law. They have now taken their Hun-like behavior to the Court itself; the arbiter of rules and the umpire of the republic. By refusing to perform their Constitutional duty and place country ahead of politics, they have mortally wounded the only institution holding everything together as we wait for saner times."
