The Senate’s Madisonian opportunity on those nominations (original) (raw)

Accelerant: noun. A substance used to aid the spread of fire.

Donald Trump, a political accelerant, has ignited, with malice aforethought, a conflagration that will singe him. And because of him, the hard, gemlike flame of James Madison’s intellect will again illuminate Washington, if the Senate is provoked into rediscovering its role.
