Amy Coney Barrett's self-characterization when asked her views on climate change, which she describes as 'controversial' when it is a settled matter globally among those who are indeed scientists.
"Do you believe that climate change is happening and threatening the air we breathe and the water we drink?" Kamala Harris asked.
"I will not express a view on a matter of public policy... that is politically controversial" Judge Barrett answered. "I am not a scientist."
Justifying the crushing of someone else's point of view, feelings, work or beliefs.

The positive opposite to the word 'demented'. In full possession of one's mental capacities.
"Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Would you like me to repeat the words in random, alphabetical or reverse order? I'll take the aggregate letters of those words and arrange them into a palindrome, after translating them into Chinese, a language I speak better than Xi Ping Jong by the way. Dementia! I'm more fully mented than any man, woman, camera, tv or person on the planet, twice my age, particularly that deranged loser... the Dementiacratic candidate... his name'll come to me...
After the fact. A measure taken in response to something which has already happened. Shutting the barn door after the horse has escaped. The opposite of preemptive.
"Would it seem postemptive if I wrote a letter of resignation?"
"They fired you last week."
"Yeah, well..."

Prozac with bubbles. Sparkling white wine with miraculous antidepressant properties.
She turned off the news, opened a bottle of Prozacco and felt her spirits effervesce.
