A look at history: we got through the Jackson era, a President who blatantly ignored a Supreme Court ruling ("Let him [John Marshall] enforce it"); and Eisenhower's Supreme Court pick, conservative Earl Warren, voted like a liberal once on the court. Many surprises will happen.
Alas, the real issue, climate change, remains ignored and in time will make all this conflict look like the bickering it is, as the species struggles for its very survival. Mars and the moon, here we come.
I'm reminded of Jonathan Swift and Tom Lehrer, who best put such idiocy in perspective. Remember Swift on which end of an egg to break, as issue that leads to war? Or Lehrer, we'll all fry together when we fry?
