THE WEEK IN PICTURES: LIBERAL HUBRIS EDITION
Powerline ^ | 25 June 2022 | Steven Hayward

Posted on 06/25/2022 5:48:46 AM PDT by Rummyfan

The cunning and contingency of history played out in magnificent style this week. If the left hadn’t lionized “Notorious RGB” and let her celebrity get to her head, maybe she would have stepped down when President Obama wanted her to retire back in 2014. If Harry Reid hadn’t been so desperate to protect the administrative state at the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that he decided to end the Senate filibuster for judges, Trump couldn’t have installed so many good judges. And who could have believed that after 50 years of Republican presidents botching their Supreme Court picks, the one who finally got it right turned out to be . . . Donald Trump. And a week later, it appears that Biden’s fall from a bike was an omen for the week to come for the left. But above all, this week was Justice Thomas’s Moment: he’s the true intellectual leader of the Court now. (Separate post about that coming soon.)

Actually this week was a trifecta plus one:

Voter ID: Upheld
School Choice: Affirmed
2nd Amendment: Affirmed (in a limited way)
Roe v Wade: Overturned

My only quibble with Steven Hayward’s column is a typographical error:
“Notorious RGB”, I think should be “Notorious RBG”

All in all, a good week for our side with the added bonus of the heads exploding on ABCNNBCBS and the rest.

EXACTLY RIGHT! I've often opined that the biggest mistake of Dubya's presidency was his nomination of Roberts, rather than Justice Clarence Thomas, to be chief justice...

Warrior against wokeness seems to have an over-under stance for stability.

Liberals think people who disagree with them are subhuman.
