Newt


When the notification scrawled across my phone last night that the Trainwreck President had just nominated Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, I initially misread it and thought that it said "Newt Gingrich."  While there are certainly issues with a Gorsuch Court - some of us are old enough to remember his mother, Ann Gorsuch, and her disastrous turn as Reagan's EPA Chief - it was actually a relief to learn that in fact it wasn't Newt who had been nominated.

The scary part is that in these "anything-can-happen" times, it was actually plausible that Newt might have been the nominee.
