Congressional Democrats -- particularly senators -- are pathetic.
That's the only word for their beyond-weak non-response to the news that Alito -- the enormously powerful Supreme Court justice -- was a backer of the Jan. 6 insurrection. (His obvious lie, blaming his wife, is also the definition of pathetic, but in a different way.)
The Democrats, in their typical weak-kneed manner, are going to let it all go.
They make me sick.
