Going forward

The Republicans have unconstitutionally packed the US Supreme Court via the soulless Mitch McConnell's cynical manipulations (Merrick Garland), with a big assist from the out-of-the-mainstream Federalist Society (which scrubs judge candidates till they're certain they're off the far right end of the political spectrum) and the Russians, who gave us our current faux president.  The GOP has delegitimized the high court for two generations or more; packing it with a lying, besotted, temperamentally unfit conspiracy theorist, a revenge-seeking partisan party hack accused of multiple sexual predation, Kavanaugh; a faux justice occupying a purloined seat (thanks, Uncle Mitch!), Gorsuch; and a serial sexual harasser, the weird silent sphinx, Thomas.  The right end of the bench is so heavily weighted down with illegitimate jurists that American jurisprudence has been sent back to the sordid days of Plessy v. Ferguson or even Dred Scott v. Sanford.

What am I going to do about the re-emergence of these sordid times dragging down our great nation?  A long time ago, I dropped out of college to work full-time on the George McGovern campaign against the criminal tenure of Richard Nixon for president, and McGovern, a fine man and a war hero, lost in an historical debacle.  Nixon resigned less than two years later in disgrace.

Two years ago, the choice between presidential candidates was so stark, one qualified and the other totally and obviously unfit as well as being a narcissistic fraud, that I worked long and hard for the Clinton campaign, just in case I ever had to say to my children or grandchildren--Don't blame me.  Thanks to FBI Director James Comey and the Russians, the failed businessman won over the Secretary of State and now he and his family mafia are driving the future of this country, and perhaps the world, into the ground in their drive to secure personal wealth and power.

Yesterday I donated money to the future opponent of Senator Susan Collins of Maine and to the current Libertarian opponent of Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, both of whom voted for Kavanaugh, and today I am going to Manassas to canvass for the democratic opponent to Republican incumbent Congresswoman Barbara Comstock, who is in the pocket of that GOP affiliate arm, the NRA.  Later I'll research donating to Senator Ted Cruz's opponent in Texas, to the Democratic senatorial candidate in Arizona, to the candidate opposing the odious Congressman Devin Nunnes, and further working for candidate Jennifer Wexton who is Comstock's opponent.  I want my country, and fairness, back.
