COUP AGAINST THE SUPREME COURT (New York Times) -- Last month, Senator Richard Burr, of North Carolina, told supporters that if Hillary Clinton wins, “I am going to do everything I can do to make sure four years from now, we still got an opening on the Supreme Court.” Step back for a moment and consider the radical absurdity of this position. This mind-set isn’t just a matter of a few senators going rogue. Leading conservative groups are embracing the argument, happy to destroy a principle of American politics — to privilege partisanship over the Constitution itself. In the next Congress, regardless of who wins on Tuesday, the very survival of the court as an independent body will be at stake.
