When I saw the images of women in red robes and white bonnets protesting the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the first thing I thought of was, where do they buy those silly getups? (Apparently you can get them at Spirit Halloween for $37.)

The next thing I thought of, gazing at the photo of nine robed women, was that it was seven men in black robes who brought us to this ludicrous and polarizing moment in our nation’s history.
