Omfg. This is so ridiculous. To think all that needs fixed can be done with a few legislative tweaks is, uh, legal and political (oh, and moral) insanity.
But what do we expect from a George Mason University employee? Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Mike Pence are alumni. Huh?
Whatever humiliation he has suffered or will suffer, until the entire Republican Party suffers the same humiliation, it won't be humiliation enough to fix what's wrong.
Here's Bernie's secret:
