Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing brings political chaos

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, and the country  or at least its political class  is descending into what will no doubt be a multi-week screaming fit. In fact, the screaming has already begun.

But that fact tells us something about the state of our nation, and it s not anything good. When your political system can be thrown into hysteria by something as predictable as the death of an octogenarian with advanced cancer, there s something wrong with your political system. And when your judicial system can be redirected by such an event, there s something wrong with your judicial system, too.
