>> Strange bedfellow for you, Bill. <<

Heh. I actually agree with Levin MOST of the time, so this is not a "stopped clock is right twice a day" thing. A lot of what Levin says is pretty common sense conservative ideas, including the fact that he's rightfully pointing out that the "But Scalia voted the same way--" excuses for Gorsuch are BS.

Levin only goes off the deep end when starts yapping about how some "Article V convention of the states" will magically solve everything, and if the 17th amendment is repealed it will magically result in Senators like we had back in the 1700s, and so forth (and when Levin claims to be above partisan politicians but flip flops on whether something is Constitutional or not depending on what party controls Congress at the time)

The biggest problem with Levin has never been the guy himself, but rather that he developed an insane cult-like following on FR and elsewhere in the conservative community that saw him as some infallible all-wise, all-knowing deity that was God's anointed spokesman on all matters of constitutional authority. ANY disagreement with Levin, no matter WHAT the issue, meant that you hated America, the Constitution, and the founding fathers, because the Great One, Mark Levin, spoke for them and never erred in judgement. You must not be "educated" on the Constitution if you dare hold a different opinion than Levin.

His followers really jumped the shark when they started talking like that, and sounding like Ron Paul supporters (both Paul and Levin's cultists seem to think that their guy personally instructed the founders themselves on how to write the Constitution at the time). Before Levin, Ann Coulter enjoyed a similar level of cult-like worship on here.

In any case, Levin's cultists have gone underground and have ceased claiming he's infallible God ever since he opposed Trump in the primary, and I don't know if any figure has risen to fill that void. Too bad, it would be amusing if they had stuck to their "principles" and were foaming at the mouth now that anyone who disagrees that Gorsuch sucks must "hate the founders and our beloved Republic"

Of course, I could say the same with Paulbots. If they had stood by their "principles", they'd be trolling the internet in droves to scream about how Donald Trump is a "neo-con Zionist controlled by Jewish bankers" after he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. But the Paulbots have mercifully shut up about foreign policy now. Weird stuff.

These political cults never seem to last long. For example, I wonder what happened to the Buchanan brigadiers? I think Adam Andrejewski worshipers are still around though.
