Bridges of Chelan County

No good deed goes unpunished, they say, and I’m sure Judge Bridges will pay for his by being the target of a few conservative hate rallies. But to me it’s enormously gratifying to see that a backcountry judge in Washington State has more sense, and far more intellectual integrity, than the partisan majority on the Supreme Court in Washington D.C.

The Bridges of Chelan County

Comments

On the other hand, it’s at least mildy encouraging to see the Democratic Party in Washington State give as good as it gets, and fight for power just as ferociously and effectively as the GOP did in Florida.
The judge (Bridges) and our Repub SOS both were definitive in calling Repub’s arguments what they were: false.
There’s a big difference between Florida(and Ohio) and Wa. State: here (Wa.) everyone knows exactly what happened. The processes were put under a microscope, election officials answered questions, and the courts moved fast and deliberately. AFAIC, it was a model process. Thank God for (relatively) small victories.
