Eww

Our household’s representative in Congress, Mary Miller (Illinois-15), has been endorsed by Ted Cruz, the junior senator from Texas. Miller will be facing Rodney Davis in the Republican primary for a redrawn 15th district, so she won’t remain our representative for long. Not that she ever was our representative. She has allied herself with the worst of the worst — Biggs, Boebert, Gaetz, Gohmert, Gosar, Greene, Jordan, and Perry, among others — and has done nothing but stunt and cast appalling votes. She already has the endorsement of the defeated former president. And now Cruz. Eww.

From a 2021 post: “Every time I see Ted Cruz, I am glad that I am someone with more scruples. And a better beard.”

[I won’t link to the source of the Cruz–Miller story. You can guess why. And yes, “junior senator” is deliberate. And yes, his performance yesterday was a disgrace.]

Republicans seem to be offended at the thought of defense attorneys actually defending the accused. I don’t remember where I read this, but someone somewhere commented, “She’s not soft on crime. She’s strong on equal justice.”

Also offended by the thought of a court decision that might make someone feel that they must be a bigot. That was Cornyn yesterday.

I haven’t had the stomach to watch today, but I know there’s still time.
