There will always be those who put the self interest of an institution and the inflated egos of their colleagues within it over standing up for what it right.
That's true of many institutions but such behavior in the U.S. Senate is destroying democracy.

Given a choice between supporting inflated egos of "colleagues" in my line of work and supporting the rule of law and abolishing a vestige of Jim Crow, I would choose the latter.
@kyrstensinema and @Sen_JoeManchin choose the former.
American democracy now is on life support.

We see collaboration among "colleagues" to pursue selfish ends and ignore wrongdoing in the church, in universities, in business organizations, in police unions and elsewhere. But the U.S. Senate is supposed to REPRESENT US.
@kyrstensinema and @Sen_JoeManchin DO YOUR JOBS!

An apologist for White supremacists once threatened to report me to my "colleagues" if I objected to his behavior. I said "go ahead." Nothing happened.
It's amazing how many scared people there are out there. And it's amazing how many of them are in the U.S. Senate.
