text: President John Kennedy - a good Catholic boy - when speaking of political defeat once famously said:  "Don't get mad, get even."
  
  That's the way politics works.  For their political gambit in service of their corporate masters, the Repubs will inherit the wind.  Here's where I would start:  Investigate Mitch McConnell, his wife Elaine Chow - look into especially that political plantation they're running down there in Kentucky.
  
  "stops catering to its fringes?":  You really think that Merritt Garland is a "fringe" appointment?  McConnell and the Repubs were motivated to make sure that Barack Obama didn't get to nominate Scalia's [now there's a real corporate w***e] replacement.  Gorsuch's appointment has its roots in racism - plain and simple.  Live with it.
