Open Thread

There is a lot to reflect on after the Alito catastrophe. There are ideas to hash out about what it all means…for the nation, the party, the netroots, the midterms, the weasel Dems, the standup Dems. I’m mulling it over. I’m going to take some of my articulation vitamins. And then I’ll weigh in on it late tonight. Or tomorrow. Give your take on things here.

One initial thought: a lot of people have a natural reaction that they want to leave the party, or register as an independent, or whatever. That’s a very normal reaction. But my aim is, always has been, and always will be, to never rest until the Republicans are frog-marched out. Anything I perceive as interfering with that goal, I am going to oppose.
