A PYRRHIC VICTORY

From a visit with family in my native England--and in deep distress and anger for my adopted country across that Atlantic--I note that henceforward every decision of the United Staes Supreme Court will be tainted by the stench of Trump-era Republican corruption, coercion and misogyny. A Pyrrhic victory, indeed! Through their implacable chicanery and radical partisanship, Republicans have succeeded only in casting a long shadow of doubt over the last remaining institution constituted to protect American democracy. May they live to regret their action, as future generations of their fellow citizens must now do.
