I don't think we can rely on the Courts. We are going to have to work the hardest we have ever worked for this nation to continue as a Constitutional Republic. Even harder than during the wreckage following the Civil War--indeed, this is actually a kind of culmination of the Civil War--and we must win at the ballot box in a way that leaves no doubt whatsoever of the intentions of the overwhelming majority of the citizens in this country.

No doubt we'll have to do it again and again and again until we rid the country of the fascists and the Xtian Nationalist movement--not to mention the plutocrats and the oligarchs.

We must tax those oligarchs and plutocrats until they no longer have the means to pursue bribery and outright purchase of Senators and Supreme Court Judges.

I know...so NOT how I wanted to spend my so-called golden years, either...but with most my grandparents and great-grands living into their late 80's and mid-90's, I figure I have a good 20 years left to fight like hell and make good trouble ...and by the gods, I'd far rather look back and think I tried and did help somewhat with my small efforts as opposed to looking back in regret because I didn't at least try.

PS: I have stocked up with postcards and stamps, ready to phonebank, I'm on the County Dem board for volunteering rides to the polls or pollwatching or whatever is needed.

Can’t do what I could but can do more than I will be able to as age creeps up, so time to make it count,
