After years and years of hard-fought battles, the Republican coalition finally put together enough victories to give a Republican President the chance to nominate two Supreme Court Justices for a Republican Senate to approve.

And that’s why I can’t help but think of what coach Herb Brooks told his US Olympic Ice Hockey team during the final intermission in the gold-medal game against Finland in Lake Placid in 1980.
The opportunity to reshape the Supreme Court may not come back in a long, long time.
