In a column about whether the president should replace Antonin Scalia (worth reading on that topic alone), Peggy Noonan digresses on how the left today is unappeasable–pushing and pushing, allowing no compromise or dissenters, demanding everything. And how the current political climate shows that the general public is starting to push back.
From Peggy Noonan: The Court, Like the Country, Needs Balance:
There is something increasingly unappeasable in the left. This is something conservatives and others have come to fear, that progressives now accept no limits. We can’t just have court-ordered legalized abortion across the land, we have to have it up to the point of birth, and taxpayers have to pay for it. It’s not enough to win same-sex marriage, you’ve got to personally approve of it and if you publicly resist you’ll be ruined. It’s not enough that we have publicly funded contraceptives, the nuns have to provide them.
