America is complicated

 

 

In August 1765, Andrew Oliver, Massachusetts administrator of the Stamp Act, had his home and offices ransacked by angry Bostonian members of what became the Sons of Liberty. The British did little to protect him, and he had to compromise because he was outnumbered.

There are laws on the books today prohibiting intimidation of Supreme Court judges, but US federal authorities, controlled by Democrats, are doing little to stop protesters in front of Judge Kavanaugh's house.

Instead of complaining about it, maybe conservatives need to get in their face instead of acting like indignant but effete Loyalists.

It's all about having the numbers, and having the will to act. Otherwise, the law is an ass.
