17. So far, only a few Dems have made a fuss.... I don't have any great hopes for anything.

Sorry to be cynical, but unless I see some major moves from the Dem leadership and see a few Repubs who give a crap, I am not going to hold my breath. I cannot deal with any more disappointments. I'm used to wimpy Democrats who have no balls and corrupt Republicans who only care about power and winning. And the majority of the American people who either don't give a crap, are too naive or uninformed, or whose hate over-rides anything. I no longer have much hope that the right thing will be done. I admire the rest of you who have hope. I cannot have my heart ripped out of my chest again and again. I think this country is rotten to the core and only people like us, a minority, really gives a crap.
