(11,464 posts)I have the back of Barack Obama
I will never stand with Rand and Jeb. In fact I can't stand Rand.
And if every democratic voter in 1980 voted for Jimmy Carter, and if Al Gore was seated,
the SCOTUS would have been 9 to 0 now for decades.
Ralph Nader has been proved a liar and yesterdays ruling and todays ruling proves that SCOTUS is all that matters.
And the next two will most likely be democratic retirements which President Obama will replace.
The next four after would most likely be changes.
The democratic President will get to pick those.
The republican president will NOT pick those
The wisdom of 1980 and the non-seating in 2000 has clearly shown there is a difference.
Ronald Reagan slept for 7 years.
What was any democratic voter thinking in 1980?
And the fracture and sabatoge, etc. led to Alito and Roberts.
SCOTUS makes all the difference.
and we shall overcome yesterdays ruling to insure all rulings are like the one today
because remember, just like yesterday showed, voting wrong in 2016 (even if ones own wedge issue is not addressed)
can lead to whatever victories are won, to be reversed.
Who would have thought 50 years later, what they did yesterday would happen
SCOTUS matters.
and we just have to make sure, whatever restrictions any state puts in from yesterday, that all the people have what is needed
to have their vote. People showed in 2008 and 2012 they would do the impossible to vote, and they did.
FORWARD.
Thank you President Obama.
and thank you Don Redwood.
(wish everyone here would feel the same).
