Tennessee Senator Schmuck Full Of Supreme Court Chootspah! Gesundheit!
I'm thinking Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander had a baptism, rather than a bris. But after reading his speech on Judge Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court nomination, I thought I might offer him a little Yiddish lesson. Just so he should know what my people might be saying when it sounds like we swallowed a German hairball. It's for your own good I tell you these things, Boychik! And it's raining today in DC, so take a hat that you don't catch your death of cold, Heavenforbid.
Lesson 1: CHUTZPAH!
Let's say, for example, your party has just spent 293 days blocking Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court because you spontaneously made up a new rule that presidents aren't allowed to nominate judges in the last year of their term.

Liz Dye lives in Baltimore with her wonderful husband and a houseful of teenagers. When she isn't being mad about a thing on the internet, she's hiding in plain sight in the carpool line. She's the one wearing yoga pants glaring at her phone.
