Trump wants to appoint judges who "will end the Weaponization of Justice". I suppose that is in line with selecting IRS and OSHA and etc. heads that want to defund or abolish those agencies. But this hits me at another level.

With it comes the honor of participating in a generous process in which one rises each day and does what one can. With it comes the simple, singular grace of being an instrument of Love, in whatever form, to whatever end. (Ram Dass) 2/2
