Despicable Senator Ted Cruz — justifiably hammered Second Circuit nominee — Myrna Pérez

Did an evil brain rightfully pounce upon a silly mind?

 

Senator Ted Cruz rammed Second Circuit nominee Myrna Pérez's evasive airheadedness down her vacuously minded gullet — during a Senate judicial confirmation:

Lawyer Pérez is the 'liberal' equivalent of . . .

 

. . . arguably equally mush-brained (and uncorrectably self-righteous) 'conservative' Supreme Court Justice, Amy Coney Barrett.

 

In Pérez's case, it would not have been at all difficult for a legally knowledgeable and agile mind to engage Senator Cruz on exactly the ground that his questions demanded.

 

Instead, Pérez wandered off into a pathetically dumb version of unsupported, talking point evasiveness that should arouse the ire of anyone with functioning gray matter.

 

Deceased justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sandra Day O'Connor — and sitting justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — would all, I suspect, privately express some gender-embarrassed doubts about Pérez's suitability for an appellate court bench.

 

America's appellate system can surely do better than elevating visibly un-agile skulls into its black robes.

 

Indeed, I would rather have bright villains at the helm, than clueless vacuities of either gender. Give (lefty me) clever monarchists like (now deceased) Justice Antonin Scalia, or the unrepentantly concrete-minded literalist, Justice Clarence Thomas.

 

At least those folks were/are bright enough to have an intelligently slick argument with.

 

 

Of course

 

I do not pretend that any of our Judicial Masters are readily persuadable of anything that runs counter to their political bents. Stone-headedness is (for the most part) engrained in their lives of elitist privilege.

 

We cannot expect a Revolution in Favor of Humankind to emanate from their chambers.

 

 

The moral? — the United States is now trading internal political blows . . .

 

. . . to see which easily demonstrated vacuum-heads can be appointed to hold enormous government power over the rest of us.

 

We can intuit that America is in deep-deep trouble when a twisted human being like Senator Cruz legitimately holds the comparatively high ground — in a dispute that essentially revolves around a judicial nominee's shrill — and absurdly poorly defended — partisanship.
