General Discussion

I suppose I could be considered "hopeful." (grin) In my mind, I'm realistic! Ha! Even at my advanced age, I've always enjoyed a good fight. And easy fights aren't as important as the tough ones.

There is reason to believe that at least two of the USSC justices who have generally been on the other side of issues from us are now both aware of and uncomfortable with the threat the felon poses to the Constitution. The court ruled against him in his first term, and I am confident that the federal courts will hold. Of course there will be a few insane rulings, but they will be overturned.

Republicans in both houses of Congress are cowardly pups by definition, but on Tuesday, they saw which way the winds are blowing. We don't need people to become Weathermen or Weather Underground. I think that we simply need to step up exercising Amendment 1 and other rights. As one of my best friends said, we need to become more "aggressively nonviolent" with sit-ins, etc, to clog the gears our opponent are using and abusing.
