A favorite truism in Washington these days is: "Be careful what you
wish for; you may get it." It tells the cautionary tale of how
Republicans who wanted to run Washington got what they wanted and now
must govern.
I offer my own quote for the swamp: "Be careful what you scorn; you may someday become it."
It has been a favorite pastime of elected Democrats to poke fun at the House Freedom Caucus because the rump is ideologically extreme and frequently self-destructive. Senate Democrats now seem poised to overtake the Freedom Caucus in the race away from moderation and in the ability to shoot one's party in the foot. To wit, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is primed to block the U.S. Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch.
Gorsuch is the one choice President Donald Trump made and executed flawlessly. In September 2016, Trump released a list of 21 judges from which he pledged to pick a Supreme Court nominee. Gorsuch, 49, was on the list.
Gorsuch has such solid credentials that the American Bar Association unanimously rated him "well qualified" to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court -- its highest rating. In other words, Trump did not pick a flamethrower.
