A ray of light

Average Americans need not apply

It's easy with the daily onslaught of bad news that's the hallmark of the Trump administration to not see the good that will result as more Americans wake up to the fact that the republican party is not taking the country in a direction a vast majority of Americans favor.  One such piece of good news is that Americans are finally waking up to the reality that the Supreme Court is a wholly owned subsidiary of the wealthy--a recent poll showed that more than 75% of Americans no longer had trust in the Supreme Court, and thanks to its barrage of decisions against the best interest of average Americans and in favor of corporate America, its prestige will continue to sink even lower.

Think about that--while many Americans have had their doubts about both houses of Congress and politicians, the Supreme Court has usually remained above the fray.  The ramifications of a solid majority of Americans no longer having faith in the institution are endless--somewhere down the line, as is done in many states, can it be possible that the Justices will be elected with term limits?  Never underestimate the anger of the powerless.

It is also becoming clearer to many Democrats that the way to advance our agenda is through the state courts, most of which, through being duly elected, can and will be held accountable for their decisions. 

Yes, it may take years and we will lose a number of battles along the way, but the prize is to win the war and with changing demographics and the utter madness of today's republican party, that prize is looking much more likely.

Fuck Donald Trump,
