What really amazes and disgusts me about conservatives like Kavanaugh (or John Yoo or Gingrich or any of them) isn’t that they have a different idea of policy or the Constitution or any of it. It’s that they so clearly don’t believe in anything — except political power, of course. Total and total when they’re in power and zero when the other party is in office.

It’s just so transparently ugly. I don’t understand why Americans put up with it.
