And ... SCENE! [View all]

The Judiciary has held.

We’ll have many more fights, frustrations, and disappointments. But in this very important instance, our Judiciary has been strong and held.

But it was a joint effort. Dedicated activists, skilled lawyers and, most important, undaunted, unafraid, and unbowed VOTERS pulled together and forced democracy to work. Yes, there were many problems, suppression, intimidation, but in the end, the Judiciary came through and we prevailed.
