No one should kid themselves that our legislative contretemps is over with the election of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the US House of Representatives. The mischief has just begun. Kevin McCarthy has made a Mephistophelian bargain with oddball Republicans who have no interest in orderly governance but only an assurance that they will have mischievous power to gum up the works when it suits them, which they will surely do. Kevin McCarthy has become the dog that caught the car.
