Barack Obama: Elections matter--and we're seeing why. Congratulations to the Biden Administration...

Elections matter—and we’re seeing why. Congratulations to the Biden Administration and to the American people on a COVID relief bill that will improve the lives of families across the country.

This landmark legislation will help families pay rent and put food on the table, lift millions of children out of poverty, make health care more affordable, aid small businesses, fund broad-based vaccination efforts, and make it easier for states to reopen schools.

This is the kind of progress that’s possible when we elect leaders across government who are devoted to making people’s lives better—and a reminder of why it’s so important to vote.

Plus, it would cause so many Repub heads to explode it would be worth it to see him on the court but I have to think he would be frustrated with many aspects of it and who he would have to work with.

Love to see him engage Clarence Thomas on their legal analyses of Constitutional Law.

if he is really meaningfully engaged at all? Would love to be able to see all the dialog that RBG, Thurgood Marshall, Scalia and others have had with their colleagues about cases but when not in court. I'll bet there are some real zingers.
