Talked to an old friend of mine today, a corporation who has been worried sick that McConnell and company would chicken out of nuking the filibuster thing.
“As a person with feelings,” my friend said, “I was so relieved to see them clear the way for Judge Gorsuch to join the Supremes where he can protect my rights as a person.”
What about the trucker decision, I asked, where the guy was fired for trying to avoid freezing to death?
“Beej,” he said, placing a cold, metallic hand on my shoulder, “Beej. We can always get another truck driver.”
