Common sense and decency succumbed to politics and expediency yesterday in the US Senate as 50 misguided senators voted to approve a mendacious alleged rapist to a seat on the Supreme Court, a move that will cast a shadow of illegitimacy over subsequent rulings by the decision-making body for decades to come. It is hoped the victory will become a pyrrhic one once the public comes to realize the enormity of the insult this decision represents to the integrity of the Court. Thanks to the mostly Republican senators, led by Mitch McConnell, who made this travesty possible, the validity of future Supreme Court decisions has become nothing more than political opinion and no longer representative of the will of the majority of the American people. This day will be looked upon by future generations as a turning point in the dismantling of the American democracy.
