Shoot that to PO and as a letter to the editor to the NYTimes & LA Times. Heck send it to every major paper in every state of the Union! Do it now! It might make the Sunday editions if you start right now this minute. Please? That is a tremendous editorial on what is happening/has happened to the Supreme Court and therefore to our country. You know, this is what I said the other day somewhere her on DU in a reply: "..in a way, this [the recent SC decisions, especially the HL decision] reminds me of 2000." Again, outstanding essay!
