Civic courage is for the little people
by digby
As you listen to the right-wingers call for the smelling salts over Congressman Joaquin Castro sending out a list of well-off maxed out Trump voters, keep in mind the words of one of their heroes on this very subject:
Requiring people to stand up in public for their political acts fosters civic courage, without which democracy is doomed. For my part, I do not look forward to a society which, thanks to the Supreme Court, campaigns anonymously . . . hidden from public scrutiny and protected from the accountability of criticism. This does not resemble the Home of the Brave.
Who said that?
Justice Antonin Scalia.
