OFF the RAILS: Congrats to Paul Krugman for easily the DUMBEST take yet on Manafort/Cohen implications

We now present a tremendous example of New York Times/Leftworld fantasy.

Times columnist Paul Krugman believes that today’s guilty verdict of Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen’s plea deal will make the Supreme Court “fundamentally illegitimate” if nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed.

Yes. Kavanaugh may yet be confirmed, but this will make the SC fundamentally illegitimate. https://t.co/gLLad36KrD

What does that even mean?

This is not a serious thought. It is an expression of angst. https://t.co/5Mp2rER0cS

"**Fundamentally illegitimate" — **To the Resistance, but otherwise same influence as any other SCOTUS in history. https://t.co/aRd2Xkawwv

This after Chris Hayes made it clear that the Left’s goal is to use these developments in an effort to prevent Kavanaugh from being confirmed.

Wasting ZERO time, Chris Hayes makes the Manafort and Cohen news about what the Left REALLY wants to stop https://t.co/VYoSs2XyBa

It has always been about the court(s) for the Left. Don’t underestimate their desperation to try to keep judicial power leaning their way.
