NYT Columnists' Conclusions -- Are They Yours? Bouie and Brooks weigh in...
Court Packing Can Be an Instrument of Justice
If Republicans replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Amy Coney Barrett, they should pay a price.
If Democrats make Republicans pay a political price in November for their rank and ruinous opportunism, then in January they should use their power to restore to the people what was taken from them.

Kamala Harris Knows How to Win Elections
Make a sharp shift to the center.
There’s a moment in many American campaigns when the people see chaos looming on the horizon. It happened in 2008 with the fall of Lehman Brothers and in 1968 with the riots.
At those moments, Americans shift to the candidates who provide safety and order. Americans have seen chaos loom, particularly over the past nine days, and Biden and Harris seem like the safest and least exhausting pair of hands.
-------------------
ADDED: My own opinion is that David Brooks is a myopic elder, wishing rather than seeing what is before him. Harris might be what Brooks wants to see in the moment, to get her elected, but nobody honest and clear eyed believes that stability and stagnation are coming back again in the form of the New Democrat Party. Wishful thinking, Mr. Brooks. And way to play the big angry black man language of intimidation, Mr. Bouie. (Were no upper-class white youth radicals available to write in?) It seems to have worked on Mr. Brooks, at least...
Legal scholars respectfully reject your "smash and grab it back" argument. Nothing further.
