Republicans busted every norm in the book to stack the Supreme Court. I'm not sure what he's on about here.

On Stanford shutting down their disinformation research (from Washington Post). What's next? Will they shut down the science departments that conservatives disagree with? Climate research? The Stanford Vaccine Program? The road to totalitarianism is paved with institutional cowardice.
