Sen. Dick Durbin just denounced the electoral vote challenge by Sen. Josh Hawley. I do not support the challenge but is this the same Dick Durbin who heaped praise on Sen. Barbara Boxer when she made the same objection against certification in 2004?...
Back then Durbin declared "I thank her for doing that because it gives members an opportunity once again on a bipartisan basis to look at a challenge that we face not just in the last election in one State but in many States."
...Such hypocrisy is no small mental feat. As F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."
