Lessons from the Roberts Betrayal

Lessons from the Roberts Betrayal: "Distasteful though it may be, mainstream Americans need to learn that elections only change the names on the doors.  America will only turn from its catastrophic course when those in office are more concerned with pleasing the political mainstream than with appeasing the far left.  And that will only happen when the mainstream learns the art of power politics; because politics, not civics, is the name of the game.  The Roberts betrayal should be a lesson that trusting the people we put in office to do the right thing is a fool’s game; they will only do the right thing when we put more pressure on them than the left does. "
