That year, two elders of the people were appointed judges, of whom the Lord said, "Wickedness has come out of Babylon"

I hadn't realized it before just now, but there is something really fitting that the day the Senate Judiciary Committee moves the nomination of the truly wicked Neil Gorsuch on to, no doubt, confirmation by the American Babylon that the Republican-fascists are, the day's lectionary readings include the story of Susanna and the two evil judges who falsely accuse her when she won't let them have sex with her.   

Evil judges, we've got by the scores and hundreds, a Daniel come to judgement to expose them and defeat them we don't have.
