I'm not sure there is a plan that will get implemented to obtain justice at this point.
History will record what Dubya did while he was in office, and the only recourse we have is to elect more Democrats in the future to prevent this kind of thing from recurring.
I'm weary of hearing the "lesser of two evils" phrase being used here these days.
I voted for Gore in 2000, but that didn't work out so well.
So, when I voted for Kerry in 2004, I was very disappointed that also didn't happen.
However, when I voted for Obama in 2008, I knew there was going to be some backlash from the racists in American society.
But, I didn't think the Republicans would just block everything that Obama tried to do after they took control of the House in 2011.
I honestly didn't think it would be this bad 4 years later, with them thwarting Obama at every turn.
But, starting in January, it will get worse.
