robert hain of south carolina and daniel webster of massachusetts. it was the first major debate about the relationship between the northern and southern states. after which webster gave a speech about public lands policy, han arghain argued that was a smoke screen. webster's real problem, hain said, was the disintegration of a coalition that webster hoped to establish between the north and west against the south. evoking a scene from mcbeth in which the ghost of the murdered person appears to lady mcbeth, but is invisible to the others who are sitting with them at a banquet table. senator hain asked, has the gentleman's tempered fancy been

that was hain. the next day webster responded. he said the honorable gentleman was not entirely happy in his elusion of vanquo's murder and ghost. turning the tables, webster explained that vanquo's ghost was an honest ghost, it disturbed no innocent man. but appeared only to vanquo's assassins. mcbeth and lady mcbeth. by identifying with those who saw the ghost, webster argued, hain had slipped up. he had unintentionally revealed his own sinister motives. after reciting several lines from the play, webster asked, those who murdered vanquo, what did they win by it? substantial good, permanent power or disappointment rather and mortification, dust and ashes, the common fate of vaulting ambition over leaping itself? then he said, i need pursue the illusion no further. there are many other examples. congressman william jennings bryant began a speech by directing the house clerk to read a passage from "merchant of venice." a manager of president johnson's senate impeachment trial compared his cabinet members to pellonius in hamlet. by

so that is not justice, lawrence. >> errin haines, also to be fired, the officer who basically did the paperwork on what was clearly a faulty search warrant and that has received a lot of blame for what sent those officers to that door in the first place. >> right, lawrence. and, you know, if you remember, he tried to, you know, blame -- say that the post office, you know, was involved with drugs and in that case and that was some of the basis and foundation for that warrant. the chief in her letter to him said that apparently that was thirdhand information that he was passing on, and so it was not exactly honest in conducting himself in a proper way as member of law enforcement. and so that contributed to his firing. but i will tell you, as somebody who spent the better part of this decade covering the issue of racial disparities in policing, i can tell you that the legal justice that so many of the families of these slain victims, whether that has come in a courtroom or from their federal government or local government, has been extremely rare. and, you know, the firing of these offi

in addition to tony blinken and have avril haines. president-elect biden continues to roll out oppressive display of nominees to other key administrative positions. now, after all we went through over the past four years i would expect that almost all of the present elected biden's nominees to be widely acceptable to the senate. after all, republican senators looked the other way and confirm several donald trump's unqualified ethically compromised in scandal flagged employee agenda appointees. republicans argue that a president deserves abroad difference when it comes to the cabinet and official appointments. well, republicans ought to give president-elect a bite in the same deference. but, we are already seeing more world clutching about overblown complaints and republican senators who conveniently ignored scandal after scandal with the trump administration. honestly, the hypocrisy is astounding. after spending four years pretending they did not see the latest insane tweets from president trump, republican senators have just found th
