Introduction

The humiliation of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham relates to something much deeper and more important tells us about where not only the Republican party is, but why we have so many problems defending our democracy these days. We begin though with a moment that has what we call pathos, emotion, humiliation in politics. New subpoenas in the coup plot probe, new developments as well in the secret documents case. And I have a thought for you tonight about the Supreme Court, what it means to celebrate Independence Day,. Whether they helped or hurt our unity as we think about diversity and that affirmative action case.
