As an active FReeper going back to the late nineties, I’ve seen how spinelessness is more the norm than the exception with Orrin....
This has been especially true of his “leadership” role in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
It’s frustrating, to be sure. But nothing new.
I met him at the S JC about 10 years ago and I thought he provided strong leadership on that occasion. I guess I let that dazzle me.
