From Kathryn Jean Lopez, tweeting about Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court:

It’s pretty remarkable just how little it takes to bring out the pity party in conservatives. Two women in a row and suddenly men are an endangered class in the American legal profession. Conservatives may not care much about discrimination against minorities, but they sure do snap to attention quickly whenever they spy any potential slight against the majority, don’t they?
