Senate Republicans: Profiles in Whatever

From Dave Dubya:

Moral Courage And Its Opposite

Representative Schiff noted this is the time for moral courage in the Senate, and quoted the relevant words of Robert F. Kennedy:

“Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.”

Indeed. Moral courage is measured by the willingness to act on one’s conscience and to stand for what is right, despite retaliation from those lacking this quality of character. The threat of “heads on a pike” for any Republican daring to express moral courage comes to mind.

Apart from former Republican Justin Amash, we have witnessed neither courage nor morals from elected Republicans.
