Garrison Keillor had some powerful words to say about the recent Senate action. There should be an editorial like this in every newspaper in the country.

None of the men and women who voted for this bill has any right to speak in public about the rule of law anymore, or to take a high moral view of the Third Reich, or to wax poetic about the American Idea. Mark their names. Any institution of higher learning that grants honorary degrees to these people forfeits its honor.
