Rather than cursing the design of the Senate, Democrats would be better served simply by winning Senate elections, a cause they materially harmed with their fevered attack on Brett Kavanaugh.
The North Dakota Democrat said Monday that she was prepared to vote for Kavanaugh until she watched his Judiciary Committee testimony with the sound off.
Slager got away with it in large part because he testified that he was afraid. But now, there are signs that such a defense will no longer be enough. Now, there are signs that juries are prepared to do their jobs, follow the law, and appropriately second-guess even officers who express fear for their lives or the lives of others.
Progressive think that they win by disrupting senate hearings, cornering senators in elevators, stalking them on the way to work, doxing their opponents on the Internet, and throwing out the concept of due process.
