@glitterbag,
Having a bad day ??
You appear to be conflating a host of old grudges, new resentments and distorted views of political events that involve many serious elements which you ignore, and which you report selectively. Moreover, you appear to have as your only unifying idea for them the discomforts that resulted from them for otherwise complacent bureaucrats and time servers, with no reference to the issues involved, benefits that resulted or the voluntary actions and responsibilities of those functionaries themselves.
Your rather childish presumption that actions you don't favor (but which many others do) limiting abortion and reinforcing the traditional status of marriage, and families will necessarily recreate human slavery is silly and a bit contemptible. (No one I'm aware of is suggesting limits on birth control: that is a straw man of your own creation.)
MacFarlane North and Poindexter were all good Naval Academy guys. Indeed Poindexter's younger brother, Bill, is a classmate - he was an early Rickover pick who went into submarines, but got out and joined Baltimore Gas & Electric, later rising to President and Chairman. Hid older brother's "total Information Awareness" has, as you likely know, since become, more or less, a fact. We did say of Ollie that 'he wouldn't float head down', but he was a creative good guy who, together with his attorney, made fools of the self righteous senators out to do a politically motivated hatchet job on him (and who later went on to try to destroy the CIA). I know Elliot Abrams - he's a dedicated, intelligent guy who did more for the country than any of the sleazy politicians who attacked him ( and very likely went on to discomfort a bunch of folks in the intelligence community).
Trump is not "packing the courts". He is merely appointing judges to posts as vacancies arise, and doing so with his own view of needed policy in mind - just as have done all his predecessors - your hysteria notwithstanding.
The new Democrat firebrands in Congress (Reps. Cortez & Omar have truly fantastic, proposals to limit our freedoms and alter our tradition of freedom. The latter wears a headscarf in Congress and advocates elements of Shari Law for her community in Minneapolis, perhaps also including unilateral divorce by husbands and limits on the freedom of women. It's odd that you didn't include that.
Unfortunately, you didn't address at all the unfolding investigations of the origins of the two year assault on Trump likely by an administration that couldn't accept the threat to, and later defeat of, their appointed candidate, and who used a host of apparently willing bureaucrats in government to overreach our FISA laws, and coopt an all-too-willing Intelligence community in a now failed two - year smear campaign.
