Thank you for the chillingly accurate facts about the US "democratic" structure which I sort of knew but had chosen not to bring into sharp focus. And thank you for sitting through those senate deadly hearings so we don't have to - a true sacrifice in the cause of your art.
yes repugnant republican in a outdated gerrymandered Senate love creating Fox News Talking Points, their voting system is also archaic for PRESIDENT Hillary had more vote than trump by far but lost and bush 2 had less votes than his Democratic rival. Aussie Murdock owned channels are full of waffle too now trying to keep scotty in power, quite sickening really
“Curse of the Demon” in the USA but “Night of the Demon” (1957 original title) in United Kingdom.
Just sayin’ in the interests of film archive accuracy. I was a 20 year old Cinema Projectionist when that film was released in Britain. A thinly disguised portrait of Aleister Crowley a well known nutter of those times.
I watched some of this selection circus. In the face of appalling sexism, racism, misogyny, ignorance, stupidity, partisanship and plain old hatred, Judge Jackson was dignified, polite, calm, unflappable, erudite, patient, quick-witted, and at times humorous. Such a contrast. Of course there were other senators who were respectful and gave her a chance to speak, but American democracy is certainly wallowing in the mire on the Republican side. Loved your analysis of the process David.
Dakota was split in two specifically and explicitly to secure two more senate votes for Republicans, while Washington DC and Puerto Rico are explicitly rejected from representation because they would not elect Republicans. The system is not just racially biased (although it is that too).
Love "a pillowcase, and stuffed it full of prunes and vinegar and disappointment."

Outstanding choice of track David, thanks! So on point.
And still they get away with it. All power to Judge Jackson, a remarkable woman.
Thankfully NZ judges are politically independent
If you substitute the words "Critical Race Theory" for "Witchcraft" then we are back in Salem 1692, surely. Progress? Hardly.

Coda to the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show.’
Dear David, Please forgive my lateral arabesque. The prunes got me going. Figuratively speaking that is. Could be a pun on figs there.
