    “I am not a Pollyanna, nor am I a Cassandra. I was at the forefront of the conservative legal movement that began in 1981 with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan. I have had the privilege of spending much of my career in public service, first in the Ford and Reagan White Houses; then in the Department of Justice; and, finally, appointed by George H. W. Bush, in the federal judiciary. I have never once in more than four decades believed that any president—Democrat or Republican—would intentionally violate the Constitution or a law of the United States. But Trump is different from all prior presidents in his utter contempt for the Constitution and America’s democracy.”

    Translation:

    "I’m a lifetime member of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party, and helped build the gerrymandered and bought voting process and the legal and judicial framework which created and sustains this face-eating leopard. I’m shocked, shocked to learn that it’s willing and able to eat faces like MINE! I want YOU to do something about it. Some of you may die, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. "
