The architect of this fresh American madness should take his rightful bows today, deep and from the waist, and it's not Donald Trump, whose grasp of advanced legal concepts is only that he can't be restrained by them.
Sen. Mitch McConnell is the man of this stroke-of-midnight hour, in which the Supreme Court is apparently primed to obliterate half a century of reproductive rights, among other things. Perhaps many other things.
This is McConnell's court, conceived and sculpted to his exact specifications by any means necessary, and who better to retrofit the machinery of momentous legal and moral decisions than a comically rich 80-year-old white guy who happens to be the chosen representative of 57% of voters in Kentucky, Addison Mitchell McConnell III?
