I need to get Dick Durbin out of leadership, is ineffective and is going to let MAGAts run roughshod to corrupt the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court, more than ever has been. From the Washington Post: “Senator Durbin was a distinct disappointment as Chair of Senate Judiciary when Democrats were in the majority and is a far weaker choice than Senator Whitehouse would have been as ranking member of that key Senate Committee now that the Republicans are in the driver’s seat,” constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe told me in an email. “Damage control will be essential with Trump and Musk driving the agenda on judicial appointments and Justice Department issues. There’s every reason to worry that Durbin will be a lackluster leader of the opposition to the MAGA wrecking ball as it smashes against our fragile system of checks and balances.”
